Episode 86: Fighting for the EMPOWERED Narrative in Women's Health

On today's episode of The Momlife Mindset Podcast, I dive deep into the narrative around women's health. The truth is - the wellness space contains all kinds of information - where a portion of it focuses on things like "quick fixes", "fast tracks" and even misinformation. As a mom of 4 and a woman that simply wants to learn how to take care of her body and brain in the best way possible, the constant conflict in messaging can feel so overwhelming and defeating. WHY does getting to the core of what we need feel impossible sometimes? Here's a link to last week's episode on body image: Episode 85: 40, Hormones + Struggling with Body Image Recently, I've seen more messaging in the wellness space that's missing the mark. If I'm honest, it's toxic. Testimonials about suppressing appetites to the point of not eating and messaging that shares how "this one thing" changed it all for me. WOMEN NEED TO KNOW - nothing beats patience, time, hard work and science. Literally the basics. Diving into root cause and unpacking what's going on inside our bodies - mentally, emotionally and physically. Wellness is ALL the moving pieces. I think it drives me crazy because "quick fix" messages chip away at mental and emotional well-being for women. The two biggest pieces to the wellness puzzle! Why? Because the inside out shit matters, big time, when it comes to how we feel in our day to day life. We can't forget that in our pursuit to feeling our best. When it comes to what I value most as a coach and the work I do with my clients, I want women to feel empowered with knowledge so they can advocate for themselves like never before. This isn't to say there's one right way...but this is to say that the wrong narrative continues to creep through and we have to be aware and willing to question. I want women to do what works for them. If you're making decisions for your long term, longevity health based on what feels good, in alignment with your goals/values and truly keeps your mental health protected, by all means - you do you! At the same time, lean into researching and learning and asking questions - remembering that the basics of wellness and potential root cause issues will always serve us best for the long haul.
