Sometimes it is hard to advocate for yourself when you don’t have all the information you need. That is the story of a wonderful woman I spoke with who shared her experience with me. In today’s episode, I share her story and the blame and pressure she placed on herself.   Ultimately, you deserve kindness and grace. That includes from yourself as well. If you ever find that you are blaming yourself, in this episode I provide three phrases to hold on to because you have the right to be the patient.   Show Notes: [1:30] - Asia had a recent conversation with a woman named Kim who had a lot of pressure put on her and she blamed herself for what she didn’t know. [2:08] - Leaving her doctor’s appointment after being diagnosed with Anemia, Kim didn’t know that she had a prescription supplement sent to an online portal and it sat there for months. [2:33] - Don’t put pressure on yourself to be the expert. It was Kim’s doctor’s responsibility to communicate. [3:42] - Don’t blame yourself for anything, especially for things you just didn’t know. [4:14] - Asia gives phrases to say to yourself when you find yourself in that position: “I have the right to be the patient. I deserve kindness and grace. I give it to others, here I am giving it to me.” [5:15] - Instead of saying that you will give yourself the right in the future, Asia encourages you to say that you are giving to yourself now. [6:00] - The Nourish Way is a new lifestyle experience to help you boost your energy naturally and maintain it. [6:29] - The Nourish Way is personalized support coming in June. Asia dives deeper into advocating for yourself. [7:25] - You are worth the kindness and grace you can give yourself. You are not in this alone.
