The Female Health Solution Podcast

In honor of the 50th episode of the podcast I wanted to do something a little bit different. I really haven't ever shared this part of my story, but I know it's time. For this episode I dove into the turning point that really ignited my passion for women's health. It was really hard for me to share this part of my journey, so I had my friend Deja on the podcast to help ask questions to steer me in a forward direction. I've always had a passion for helping people, especially women, but this part of my story is what ignited that passion to a level I never knew was possible. Most of you will probably be able to relate to some part of this story, and if nothing else it will give you the hope and motivation to get through the rough patches in life! I truly hope you enjoy this episode, and that some part of it resonates with you!
