Episode 56 - SPECIAL - BII; A deeper look

In Season 2, we had the pleasure of interviewing two BII survivors local to Canada and we were beyond inspired by their strength and real talk. So much so, when we were given an opportunity to bring two of BIIs biggest advocates on the show, it was a no brainer. && perfect timing too as the day we recorded (Feb 13th) was National Breast Implant Illness Awareness Day! We see what you did there universe 😉 In this episode, Robyn and Amanda walk us through their personal journeys with BII, their reasons for being advocates and all the steps they are taking to help ensure all women proceed with the most knowledge and true informed consent. These incredible women are huge supports in this community and have done so many positives for this movement like making changes with the laws in different states to ensure patients safety to providing endless resources for those going through this. We are super grateful for all the work they have done, hours upon hours of research over years, spending tons of time and energy spreading the word so no woman has to be told she’s crazy for thinking her implants may be making her sick. This has been happening for years and years. It’s time we throw this story off it’s course and start listening to those suffering and sharing what you know in case that information shared saves another friend, sister, mom, wife from the heaviness that comes with BII. The positive is that there is a HUGE community with a wealth of knowledge to help you if you are experiencing this. There is a way to feel better and be supported now more than ever! Let’s keep that up & support those who are hurting from illnesses we cannot always see ♥️
