Episode 4 of Season 1 on the Coach Donna Marie Podcast
In this empowering video, we're diving into the crucial topics of fibroid awareness, patient advocacy, and health empowerment. As a patient who has experienced doctor gaslighting and overcome uterine fibroids, I'm sharing my personal fibroid journey to help others feel seen, heard, and empowered to take control of their reproductive health. We'll be discussing the importance of mental health, chronic illness, and self-advocacy, as well as providing informative health tips and advocacy strategies for navigating the healthcare system. If you're tired of feeling dismissed, ignored, or belittled by medical professionals, this video is for you. Let's work together to create a community that supports and uplifts women's health and well-being. Tune in for an honest conversation about overcoming uterine fibroids, gaslighting recovery, and becoming a powerful advocate for your own health.
And thank you to Antoinette Yvonne (a digital nomad) for sharing her fibroid journey and challenging other women to also share.

Key Takeaways
- If you are suffering, you have a right to keep looking for the right help and keep asking until you get a solution that works best for you.
- If you are allowing your suffering to linger too long, it will affect everything, your family, your career, and your academics. So you have an obligation to yourself to get more help as soon as possible.
- Not every provider that seems charming or benevolent has your best interests in mind. Always get a second opinion.
- Be just as persistent about getting your own needs met as you are when you advocate for the people you love.
