Resilience, Self-Advocacy and Empowerment

Several years ago when a doctor proclaimed 'you have an autoimmune disease' and went on to describe a long list of dreadful outcomes and said 'Get real. This is your life now,' Sharon Sayler refused ownership of the diagnosis while at the same time knowing it was something she needed to overcome. In this episode, Sharon shares how her frustration with the medical community in understanding what it’s like to have a chronic and complicated medical condition led her in search for how to overcome what was happening to my body and be a Thriver. She started The Autoimmune Hour to bring others the same info and research she was finding that was not what she had heard from the medical community when she was diagnosed. She’s now made it her mission to share a wide variety of quality information she finds and to teach others how to be courageous self-advocates for their health so they too can turn life transitions into triumphs. http://www.joycebufordempowers.com/Sharon-Sayler
