S3E7 - Vulnerable Chat - Dealing with Fibroids - a podcast by Courtney Ball

On this episode, I open up about an issue that has caused all kinds of problems in my life for the last few years. I’ve been dealing with fibroids since my diagnosis in October 2019. 

Disclaimer - if you are uncomfortable talking about terms such as fibroids, cycle and uterus, you should skip this episode. Also, I am not a medical professional. I am sharing my personal experience.

Recently, I had major surgery to have fibroids removed. As someone who works a lot, the idea of taking off for several days and “taking it easy” for several weeks was a challenge for me. But I forced myself to do it. For me to be my absolute best self as a partner, individual and leader, I have to take care of myself. I have to be present in every situation.

I am grateful that I had the space to take the time, and I’m happy I can share my experience with others, especially folks with similar struggles.

I’d love to hear what you think about the episode. Most times, you can find me on Linkedin, but my DM’s are open on IG too. Hit me up.
