Episode 6 summary:
In this powerful episode, Sarah shares the story of a recent endometrial cancer biopsy and the internalized urge to stay silent in order to protect others. Chrissy and Sarah unpack how women—especially ND women—are often conditioned to minimize their pain and navigate peri/menopause alone.
Together, they explore:
The emotional strain of waiting for medical results
Why women delay or avoid sharing serious health concerns
The intersection of ADHD, hormonal shifts, and medical gaslighting
The importance of self-advocacy, regular check-ups, and speaking up
How partners, friends, and communities can show up with real support
And why breaking the silence around women’s health isn’t just important—it’s life-saving.
This one’s honest, raw, and a reminder that none of us should have to suffer quietly. 💥
