Today we are talking with Lipedema Simplified's right hand woman, Lisa Duerre. Lisa is a powerhouse and amazing encouragement every time we speak with her. CEO and co-founder of RLD Group, a leadership development coaching and consulting firm, Lisa shares with us all about a new research paper that has been years in the making that has significant implications for the Lipedema community and its cause. We also spend some time connecting with one another over the hardships of Lipedema and throw out ways we've found to combat the mental load and emotional weight. It's always a great time with Lisa on the pod!
