Today's Affirmation: " I Deserve to be Happy because I am WORTH IT! "

Hello Overcomers! I think that it's about time that we talk about something that can be a little embarrassing to talk about sometimes. If you have Interstitial Cystitis or any other bladder condition I am sure that at some point you found yourself having to stop what you are doing and make a mad dash to the bathroom to pee. Sometimes the urge to go is so strong that you find yourself giving your bladder a pep talk until you get there.  Join me on today's episode as I share with you what I have learned about the bladder pacemaker. I will also discuss urinary incontinence and share with you a few things that I like to implement that helps me get through those very informative doctor's visits, as I continue to share my story with you.

Hey Overcomer! Have you find yourself struggling to get out of the bed in the morning because of the pain? Do you still find yourself getting caught up in the news and getting upset? If so, I really do hope that you have made or are making the decision to block out some of the noice and take the time to focus on your health and doing what makes you happy. Join me on today’s episode where I will be sharing with you some of the things I have been doing to help get myself back on track.

My Playlist Song:  OCEANS by HILLSONG

"Remember that you are loved. You are not Alone and that it's time for us to come out of the shadows! Love you! Be Blessed!"  (K.Rochelle)

Hey Overcomers! Do you struggle with pelvic pain? Do you sometimes feel a sharp, dull, or aching pain in your lower back, hips, thighs, or lower abs after sitting or standing to long? I know that I have for years now. Have you ever spoken up about how you are feeling? Well I think that it's about time that we start shedding a light to the pain that we have been suffering with.  I'm not sure if you know this but as of 2017 May has been designated as Pelvic Pain Awareness month! So, I felt this would be a great time to spread some awareness and share with you some of the things that I have learned that may be helpful to you.
