Episode 8- Advocating for Yourself

This week is all about advocating for yourself as a person with an autoimmune disease. It can be easy to ignore your symptoms just so you can “get back to life”. The truth is, when you neglect your needs, you give others permission to neglect them too. You have to realize that, You matter. The way the world treats you matters. Most of the time, people closest to you are willing to accommodate you. Try to get into the habit of asking. During this episode, Tori and I share little life hacks that help us maneuver and find peace in our new norms. Spoiler alert, it mostly comes down to mindfulness! Keep listening to learn more!
