Listen "S5: E60 Be Your Own Advocate"
Episode Synopsis
Who knows your body more than you? Who is going to fight for your healthcare? The answers to these questions should be very clear; it should be YOU who defends your healthcare because you no one knows your body and what you need more than YOU.
In today's episode of The Latika Vines Show, our guest, Carmen Brown Marshall, shares the importance of women being their own healthcare advocates. We have to ensure that we speak up when things don't feel right in our bodies and be persistent in finding answers to our questions. To do so, Carmen tell us to:
Have a clinical board meeting your expectations - have various doctors who can specialize in your healthcare
Find what works for you
Pour back into yourself
You are a joint heir with Christ and must take care of yourself
