Listen to my recent encounter with a sub-par doctor. I want women to have the courage to end a patient-doctor relationship that is not working. If you do not feel seen or heard, it’s time to move on.

This week's WFW is all about getting your power back. From whom? From your doctor. Yes, at times, we tend to hand it over to them and allow them to make whatever decisions they determine over OUR bodies.

Become informed, Do your research. Get a second opinion if you aren't happy.

As I'm in the final edits of my upcoming manual on Lupus, I realized that at the height of my illness, many years ago, I found myself working over 70 hours per week with little fun or enjoyment in my life. There is quote by Brené Brown that tells us exactly what our body needs and what stress really does to the body; I talk about that and more in this episode.

I've been quiet for the past several weeks. I've needed to process what was happening and get myself on stable ground before letting you in. Initially, I didn't want anyone to know. But this was huge news and keeping it from you isn't how I roll. So in this week's episode I am sharing my latest health journey. I will get through it, I have no doubt.

Can I just tell you how eye-opening my conversation with this week’s guest, Avery Neal, was? Avery Neal is the author of, If He’s So Great, Why Do I Feel So Bad?: Recognizing and Overcoming Subtle Abuse. She is also a practicing psychotherapist, author, speaker and consultant. She is passionate about empowering women to discover their own inner strength, leading to higher self-esteem, confidence and overall life satisfaction.

During our conversation, we jammed on all the signs of an abusive relationship. And, let me tell you, several you may have never known, at least I know I didn't. I hope this episode empowers you, if you are in an abusive situation currently. To be clear, being in an abusive relationship does not always mean physical abuse, it can be emotional or even mental abuse.

The signs we talk about can crop up while newly dating and exist well into marriage. Be aware, if not for you, for a friend or family member.
