Join me as I dive into Shannon's journey with epilepsy and her menstrual cycle, her thoughts around her period growing up, and how that has changed. AND so much more!
Topics we cover:
-How hidden epilepsy can be and the duality of society's term 'normal'
-How epilepsy shaped her life
-Her journey to sharing her true self
-The curiosity that women have, especially during the pandemic
-Women's evolution from 'I don't know' to 'I know'
-Tips on how to evolve to 'I know'
-Her thoughts on Taboo subjects
-Trauma and our body
-Difference between the types of trauma we can have
-Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) & Saboteur
-Her period positive story
Fave takeaways:
-'25% more difficult for women to identify what they need than men.'
-'Being able to take the language and verbalise it...for women, it is quite challenging to come up with the 'I know' statement.'
-'The best thing for us is for the ability to be heard and seen.'
-'Having someone you can talk to, that you feel safe with them, just being able to say that you are trying and it is hard, is invaluable.'
-The things that are taboo, when we speak about them, are actually the things that bring us together.'
-'Everyone has trauma, it is just a word to describe what you have gone through.'
-'In Chinese medicine, the womb is the second heart.'
-'Trauma is felt, stored, and held in our bodies.'
-We have the ability to name our ANTs and this brings them externally.'
