1. SE5: EP14 Take back your V.O.I.C.E. and advocate for the right healthcare for YOU! Clarissa Kristjansson 52:15

This week I am joined by outspoken champion for women’s voices in healthcare Amanda Laden.

Amanda shares her story of IVF, undiagnosis/misdiagnosis, and of being dismissed in the medical system.

She share her pregnancy, miscarriages, and then getting diagnosed with adenomyosis when it was too late and then finding out she had stage 4 endometriosis.

Ultimately, having a hysterectomy and going into perimenopause overnight.

In particular Amanda highlights:

-How to advocate for ourselves

– Why using our VOICE is so critical

– How the system needs to change to accommodate women and non-conforming people.
