    Send a text

    In this episode, I sit down with Nailah Liverpool, who shares her personal experience living with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a chronic and often debilitating condition where the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of it, causing severe pain, heavy periods, and infertility. Nailah opens up about her journey with endometriosis, from her initial diagnosis to the challenges she's faced in managing the condition on a daily basis. She shares her insights on seeking the right treatment and coping with the emotional toll that comes with living with Endometriosis. We also discuss the impact of endometriosis on her personal and professional life and the importance of raising awareness about this often misunderstood condition. Whether you have endometriosis yourself, know someone who does, or simply want to learn more about this condition, this episode offers valuable insights and perspectives on living with endometriosis.

    Nailah is like your girl next door. Always willing to lend a hand or an ear. She's currently studying to become a massage therapist after a recent shift in her career goals since receiving her BSc in Biology in 2015.

    As for her, self-care and love are the beginning of a full and healthy life.

    Nailah's journey with Endometriosis has been long, though the diagnosis was only revealed a couple of years ago. She bravely told her story to the world and plans to let other women know they are not alone in their fight.

    Send a text

    In this episode, I'll discuss pregnancy anxiety and how it can affect women who are expecting. Pregnancy is a time of excitement and anticipation, but it can also be a source of worry and stress for many women. For some, these feelings can develop into pregnancy anxiety, a condition that can significantly impact a woman's well-being and the health of her baby.


    I explore the causes and symptoms of pregnancy anxiety, including the impact of hormonal changes, past mental health history, and fears related to childbirth. I also discuss the difference between normal pregnancy worries and anxiety and when it may be necessary to seek professional help.


    To manage pregnancy anxiety, I offer practical tips and strategies that women can use throughout their pregnancy. These include mindfulness practices, self-care routines, and building a support system. We'll also talk about the role that therapy and medication can play in treating pregnancy anxiety.


    Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of addressing pregnancy anxiety, both for the mother's well-being and the health of the baby. By understanding pregnancy anxiety and learning how to manage it, women can enjoy a happier and healthier pregnancy.


    Tune in to this episode to learn more about pregnancy anxiety and how to manage it.
