Trust Yourself

When I start working with clients, EVERYONE says the same thing to me.

I was told X Y and Z, however I think its this that is causing the problems. Then they tell me how its all probably nonsense and they don’t know what they are talking about.

You might not be a doctor, but you do live in your body 24/7 therefore you are the expert in your own landscape and how that looks and feels for you. Those gut instincts and hunches aren’t to be ignored and are more often than not the place I start with my clients.

I am so tired of the good girl metric touching ever facet of our life, don’t make a fuss, go along with the crowd and above all else handing over control to someone who lives outside of your everyday environment.

But its hard not being the good girl, because it is a pattern that runs really deep. I could sit here and give you all the hype and you might feel emboldened for a few minutes or maybe hours (lols) and then it would just reset and go back to before.

Learning to trust yourself is a practice, it’s something we need to lean into and explore. Be curious nothing has to be hard and fast, in fact the absolute opposite is much more welcome in this gaff.

I work with hormones and more and more I am finding it is less about the physicality’s of the work but the re patterning core beliefs and learning stuff like trusting yourself that plays even more importance on how we navigate our health.

When I had to have surgery for the removal of my cyst Persephone, my surgeon was going to just chop off my ovary and job done. I was a newb at all this hormone stuff - at this point I didn’t even know I had endo or adeno. I just new that I didn’t want her to chop off my ovary. So I said please don’t do that, I would like you to save it if possible and just remove the cyst.

“But you don’t want children” was her reply (helpful). I was adamant, that ovary was staying. So I had longer surgery but my ovary remained. I now know that if you have an ovary removed that you are likely to go through the menopause sooner than if you had both. Early menopause is a thing in my family, but I didn’t know any of this, I simply thought I’m meant to have 2 if I can keep 2 I will.

That was trusting my gut, letting the voice that’s often a whisper have the floor to speak up and be heard.

I have spaces for my 6 week Roadmap programme in June and July. If you are struggling with some aspect of your periods or hormones, then drop me an email gemma@thewellwomanproject.com or click here to book in a free discovery call and find out if its what you need.

I know there are whispers being whispered out there. Let them have the floor, trust what your instinct has to say.
