we are neglecting a major and foundational piece of women’s health.
so much of women’s health is hyper-focused on hormones, reproduction, giving birth, weight management, and food choices.
what this field forgets is that all those very key fragments, require our ability to confidently and intuitively make decisions.
idk about you, but I’ve been riddled with indecision too many times than I can count. times where the clear decision was right in front of me, but I was too worried about how my choices would affect other people who don’t even live with me, what others advice was, how it was supposed to look or be, and how a single choice feels too big that it would affect the next 5 years of time and space. maybe that’s a little dramatic, but there’s a peak into my brain 3 years ago🤣 and if you’re nodding along, welcome to the club.
addressing emotional health and intuitive decision making, is a missed opportunity in the women’s health space. it’s often compartmentalized, making us think that intuitive decision making cannot coexist with evidence based practice, when in reality, it totally can and in both my professional and personal opinion, it absolutely should.
the reality is we can only do or decide what we can with what we have in that moment. remember, we will never know everything and that’s ok.
this is where our core values come in so let’s talk about it.🫶🏽
we go deeeep in both fertility awareness/body literacy and childbirth classes on core values:
• i help them identify their values, those core elements of life that are important to them.
• give them decision making tools for their health or birth that will support their values.
• help them create a framework using their current experience as a starting point, for big decision making to apply in all areas of life.
if you’re someone who wants to get a little deeper on core values and the framework to help support choices in women’s health, lifestyle, pregnancy, birth, and beyond, stay a while :)
