S.1 Ep.12 Healing Unleashed: Rewriting the Rules for Women's Health, Boundaries, and the Hidden Price of 'Free' Healthcare

The Gutsy Goddess™️ Podcast

Today’s episode marks the end of season one of the Gusty Goddess podcast. It’s been a journey and a labour of love. Thank you for all the support you’ve accorded me, and I will be back soon for season two.

In this episode, I will equip and challenge you to become an advocate for your health. I’d love for us never to be afraid to raise our voices for what we believe is best for our health. Nothing would make me happier than seeing more people investing in their health and doing everything in their power to make sure they have little or no pain.

Imagine having a moment to challenge a doctor’s opinion on what’s ailing you because you believe there is a better solution and are ready to pursue it. That’s advocacy! I remember when I broke my elbow. Doctors told me they would fix it with some screws, but my arm would never be straight again. I refused to buy into that and got a physiotherapist to work with me to fix my elbow and make it straight again. The process was painful but worth it at the end of the day.

Today I share some golden nuggets on how you can advocate for your health. Listen in and learn.

Key talking Points of the Episode:

[02:05] Learn how to communicate your health needs

Magical Quotes from the Episode:

“You are healthy to the level in which you serve yourself. You need to be engaged and understand how to advocate and stand up for yourself.”

“You have to think about the cost of free health care if you don’t invest in yourself.”

“Health needs to be considered all the time, not just when you’re sick.”

“It’s your responsibility to be happy. And it’s your responsibility to lead yourself to the level of health that you desire.”
