Welcome to Season 3 of Making Lider Moves! This season, we will be diving deep with other Mujeres to speak on their journeys of discovering an extra layer of themselves - their chronic illnesses/ disabilities and disorders. Hosted by Yovana Rosales @yovana_rosales.
In our first episode of Season 3, I talk with Nathali J. Zamora about the struggles of living with endometriosis, the challenges faced by first-generation individuals in seeking medical advice, and the journey of self-discovery and holistic healing.
Highlights:
The struggle of communicating health concerns to doctors and family as a Latina.
The unique challenges faced by first-generation individuals: "How could you question a doctor?"
The journey of seeking multiple opinions: "I saw six gynecologists when I was 20."
The pain and discomfort outside of periods and the challenges of intimate relationships.
The push towards holistic treatments before resorting to surgery or medication.
Triumphs and dangers on diet, lifestyle, and the influence of health influencers.
The transformative experience with pelvic floor therapy and its benefits for those with endometriosis.
