Cope & Land

Be Your Own Advocate


Listen Later

Have you ever had an “a-ha” moment that forced you to take control over your life? Maybe it came from a failed relationship, a swerve in your career path, or a life-or-death medical emergency. Whatever the catalyst may be, it's so important that we use these moments for growth and view them for what they are: blessings in disguise. 


Today, I welcome my good friend Sadie Hershewe. Sadie is a mother, an entrepreneur, an overcomer, and an eternal optimist. She’s a person I often look to for uplift, empowerment and encouragement, and she has an incredible habit of always wanting to leave things better than when she found them. 


Sadie shares with us her story of a scary medical diagnosis, the toll it was taking on her, and how she grew to overcome it and reclaim her life. Though she initially struggled with her autoimmune issues, Sadie put her research-oriented brain to work and came out stronger and wiser. 


Tune in and listen to episode three of Cope and Land. Join Sadie and me as we discuss overcoming the mentality of being a victim, being your own advocate, and living life for yourself. Find out how Sadie’s whole world changed when she started setting boundaries. 


In this episode, you will learn:

  • How a people-pleaser can recover from that mindset (04:09)
  • Sadie’s pivotal health moment that forced her to take a step back (07:52)
  • My own harrowing experience with severe thyroid issues (16:52)
  • Some of the research Sadie discovered on her health journey (21:27)
  • The critical realization that Sadie had about her relationship (30:33)


Some questions I ask:

  • What was that pivotal moment where you decided to do things differently? (03:26)
  • How was your medical diagnosis affecting your life? (13:54)
  • What actions did you start taking to advocate for yourself? (21:11)
  • What did your life look like after you realized you didn’t have to be everyone else’s savior? (29:29)
  • What do you envision for your future? (38:00)
