Ep. 20 Listening to Your Body: The Importance of Self-Advocacy in Women's Health
Description
In today's episode, I dive into life's unpredictable journeys. I opened up about the rollercoaster of health scares and emotional upheavals that have recently dominated my world. From confronting the fear of a potential cancer diagnosis to navigating the complex web of medical opinions and tests, this period has been a testament to the power of vulnerability, faith, and the relentless pursuit of answers.
Amidst the uncertainty, I've been reminded of the importance of listening to my body, advocating for my health, and leaning on the strength of community and divine guidance.
As I continue to seek clarity and healing, this chapter is a profound reminder that our battles, though deeply personal, are shared by many. It's in these moments of openness that we find our collective strength, comfort, and the courage to face whatever lies ahead.
