#4: To endure or not to endure

On this podcast, we openly explore why is it that women may not seek certain medical care or treatment in order to feel better. Is it a rational decision, does it stem from conditioning, or something else? For example, we discuss menopause and hormone replacement treatment, giving birth and getting an epidural, as well as having extreme bleeding during periods and whether or not to raise this issue with your doctor or ObGyn. I believe it's important to consciously reconnect with who we are so that we can have agency over ourselves and our bodies. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.
