    Ep. #17 22 Years Without a Diagnosis: My Endometriosis Story w/Dr. Kelly Sadauckas

    The end of 2022 was really difficult for me, I was in debilitating pain, so much so I was struggling to walk. As someone who works out all the time and loves to move, this was devastating to me. By April 18th, 2023 I would undergo 5 hours of surgery and get diagnosed with Stage 4 Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. I discuss some of the major symptoms I had and how I advocated for myself until I found a doctor who would listen to me. I speak about how difficult the road to recovery both physically and mentally was probably the hardest thing I've ever dealt with in my life.



    I sit down with Dr. Kelly Sadauckas, DPT, OCS, WCS who is a pelvic floor therapist for Endometriosis Awareness Month to bring awareness to this complex and complicated disease that actually isn't so rare. I shed light on how important and vital pelvic floor therapy was and still is a major part of my recovery success.



    This is about my story and how I will use every ounce of my voice to bring forth awareness to Endometriosis and that you are indeed your best advocate. And that you can heal and feel good again, I feel like I got a second chance at life.



    And always remember, an educated patient is an empowered patient.

    Ep. #16 Trauma Is The Root Of Our Problems: How EMDR Therapy Can Change Lives

    Ep. #16 Trauma Is The Root Of Our Problems: How EMDR Therapy Can Change Lives

    In today's episode on Keeping It Jersey with Laura Vaisman is a podcast I recently did called, The On Call Empath with Raj Montage. We discussed the impacts of trauma has on the body and how our current mental health system doesn't seem to be helping. I discuss how much EMDR therapy has changed my life and my own mental health versus doing years of CBT/talk therapy. Laura explains how if we started looking at the root aka the traumas that have happened in our lives first we would have a very different outcome in helping people heal or come to a place of acceptance of their past not in their mind but their body's.



    Enjoy! Let me know what you thought!
