I’m worth it.
Today for the first time in my almost 20 year career in medicine I heard a woman say, “I’m worth it.” I wanted to scream, “Amen sister!” I want my daughter to grow up knowing that her life and her health matters. Women too often ingest the subtext that they should “tough it out.” My message to all women is to TRUST your body. If it’s telling you something, please listen, and then find a health care professional who will listen and help. Remember, your sleep, sanity, s*xual health, mood, and quality of life are all worth it.
