Manage episode 431639930 series 3503962
What if your body started sending distress signals, but no one seemed to listen? Join me on this deeply personal episode of Infinite Love with Kate, where I unravel my story of quitting smoking only to face unexpected health hurdles and gain profound self-awareness. My journey led me through indifferent medical appointments, confusion over weight gain, and finally, to an empowering diagnosis of uterine fibroids by an exceptional gynecologist. This episode underscores the significance of self-advocacy and the unyielding power of listening to our bodies.
Navigating the emotional labyrinth of needing a hysterectomy was both shocking and transformative. I share the raw moments of vulnerability, from struggling to connect with my best friend over the phone to finding solace in the strength and resilience of women who endure pregnancy. Serendipitously, my medical appointments aligned with time off from work, allowing me the space to focus on recovery. This heartfelt episode is a tribute to the importance of self-care, the power of perseverance, and the unwavering support of friends. Join me as I encourage you to advocate for your health and prioritize the well-being you deserve.
