I was lucky enough to join Sal Jeffries on his podcast, Mindset. Mood and Movement, to discuss women’s health and wellness and a unique, holistic approach to the challenges women face today. Sal and I are both passionate about optimal health, but we’re even more interested in giving people the right information about their bodies so they can make informed decisions so they can advocate for themselves and live their best life. We are also both dedicated to our podcasts for women’s health. We emphasize that a woman’s true well-being does not just derive from her physical health, but also her mental, emotional and social health as well; all of it multifaceted and interconnected. Through that lens, listeners will be able to both better understand and address the root causes of issues in women’s well-being.

By replacing these negative emotions with a sense of being heard and seen, I aim to create a ripple effect of positive, transformative change.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in improving their own health or advocating for women’s wellness. But don’t just take my word for it. Tune in and discover it for yourself!
