Parenting with An Illness Revisited

Blessings everyone! I wanted to share this video again that I recorded a little over a year ago in regard to “Parenting with an Illness.” As many of you know and for those who maybe new to me, what led me to becoming a health and wellness coach was my battle with Lyme disease and co-infections and also what I saw my mother go through with ovarian cancer.

This video could be for any parent/guardian that is going through an illness or having to deal with a medical condition. I know with the weather where I live being so all over the place, a couple of my symptoms flare at times like they are today, and I have to keep myself uplifted and positive. I rewatched my own video just to give myself motivation and I hope that it can help someone else as well.
If you like to talk more about my journey, what health and wellness coaching is about and my practice (Divine Wryte Wellness), then please message me here.
Take very good care, keep your head and spirits lifted and if you’re having a very difficult time, please reach out to loved ones or those who can assist. Sending love, light and peace to each of you.

Advocating for Your Health Condition! You Deserve Fair and Great Treatment!

Peace, love and light everyone, I hope all is well. I wrote a blog about bad bedside manner and how I’ve experienced doctor’s not being good listeners, misdiagnosing me, lack of compassion and other stuff. I decided to put a video together in honor of Ovarian Cancer and GYN Cancer Awareness month, but this video pertains to anyone with any sort of health condition (I have Chronic Lyme) and even if you have pristine health and getting your annual checkups, you still deserve the very best care.
.

For those who haven’t heard of this term “bad bedside manner” it means a few things. There’s a lack of or no compassion expressed, their listening skills is low or at a zero, yes they are medical experts BUT even though you are the expert of your own body they try to downplay what you do know about your own self & condition and they even will go as far as to state that a couple of the other doctors you may have on your medical team like I do are wrong (they are know it all’s). Some feel as if they can talk to you any which way.

I hope this video empowers someone and sheds some light. You are your own best advocate and if you have a caregiver then they are as well. Just know that you are worthy of having the best care, to be the center of attention, to be listened to and to receive good treatment. PERIOD!
