Manage episode 371237508 series 3365992
Ever felt trapped in your own body? The struggle with PCOS often feels just like that. I sat down with Kendra Alexander, an integrative health and hormone coach, and she opened up about her battle with PCOS. Kendra talks candidly about her diagnosis, the lifestyle changes she made to manage it, and her journey to motherhood. She emphasizes the importance of seeking medical guidance when dealing with PCOS and instills hope for those dealing with this condition, by showing that, while it can't be cured, it can certainly be managed.
The conversation took a poignant turn, as Kendra bravely shared her story of miscarriage and how it impacted her marriage. We touched upon the unique grief that comes with losing a pregnancy, how it can affect relationships, and the significance of allowing ourselves time to process such a loss. Kendra's experience in the beauty industry post her loss and her being queried about her family status are discussed, shedding light on the challenges women face in society. Tune in to hear Kendra's powerful story of resilience and endurance, as she navigates through grief and fertility, and learn from her experiences. Remember, you are not alone in your journey.
