Lubricate Your Vocal Folds - self advocacy

June 09, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 21

This episode is about self-advocacy and fierce advocacy for your health. Tait starts out telling her story about a gynecologist trying to prescribe her estrogen without doing proper blood work, claiming she was moving into menopause. After getting another opinion from Dr. Richard Rock, she found out that wasn't the problem at all and she actually had a tumor on her pituitary gland. She explains what would've happened if she hadn't advocated for herself.

They discuss the difference between advocating on behalf of someone else versus advocating for oneself. Not everyone is standing up to or questioning doctors and they discuss how you can feel more comfortable doing so. What happens when you're depleted and really sick?

What does your voice and vocal cords have to do with it? Jenny talks about how to make it easier to share your voice and disrupt the people pleasing status quo. You can take up space and make noise! SING! CHANT! Are you holding things in? Holding things back? This will be good information for you.

Tait shares her challenges with saying some words and a little on interoception and exteroception and how moving fluidly between the two can be helpful when feeling anxious.

They also discuss how mindful meditation can lead to apathy and an unhealthy detachment.

Their funnies include their made up character, Carol Featherington.
