#156 - Done Being A Doormat

In this week's podcast, Wendy K Laidlaw is delighted to share ANOTHER 'heal endometriosis naturally' success story! Meet Harriet, from the UK, who is an experience and sought-after First Mate who leads yacht crews sailing all around the world.  However, from the young age of 15 years old she was in chronic debilitating pain every month. Her period became so bad at school that she would often have to run out of class due to the pain, cramps and nausea, and spent a lot of time in the medical room. In her early twenties she got an internal ultra sound scan that confirmed the existence of endometriosis and cysts. Whilst Harriet would learn how to handle the chronic fatigue and adjust her shifts round her pain, the apprehension of her monthly cycles haunted her.  That's when Harriet went on to Google and found Wendy's book (How I Ended My Endometriosis Naturally) on Amazon, read it through and then signed up for the 21 Day Unstoppable EndoBoss® Challenge.  Harriet then attended the in-person live Embracing Emotions Retreat in Portugal with Wendy K Laidlaw and was offered a place in the EndoBoss® Academy. It was through the 12 months EndoBoss® Academy with the expert support and guidance that she would learn how to address 'The Five P's' (Poisons: produce, products, property, people, and past) that contribute to endometriosis. After almost a decade in monthly pain, Harriet now experiences pain-FREE periods!  She has improved energy, and better overall health including stronger hair and nails, and softer skin. Harriet has also learned the importance of paying attention to her emotions (as messengers) and setting boundaries with demanding or toxic people, which has empowered her and transformed her life.

This week, Wendy and her Head Coach, Maxine, discuss the critical importance of asking questions. As the Danish proverb goes, "Better to ask twice than to lose your way once." On your EndoBoss® journey, you will encounter various characters and personalities. Some may seem helpful but are actually like wolves in sheep's clothing. Others might pretend to offer assistance but are merely serving their own egos, potentially causing you harm. So, how do you ensure you are engaging with safe and genuinely caring people? The answer lies in questions, questions, questions! You can discern those who are less safe or not safe at all by observing how they respond to your inquiries. You know your body better than anyone else and will live with the outcomes of any decisions made. You have the power to transform your body, and when seeking external assistance or guidance, it's essential to ask important and relevant questions. President John F. Kennedy famously said, "The first key to wisdom is constant and frequent questioning," which is also our motto for EndoBosses. Whether it's your optician, travel agent, or boss, questions keep you safe and help build your confidence in a fast-paced, dazzling world. As the renowned writer and poet Rudyard Kipling said, "I keep six honest serving men...they taught me all I knew; their names are: what and why and when and how and who and where."

In this week's podcast Wendy K Laidlaw discusses the importance of "holding the mirror" to oneself and others. This involves keeping self-awareness through journaling to care for oneself and recognise negative behaviours in others. She advises being an advocate for your own body, not allowing others to mislead you into unnecessary medical procedures. Holding the mirror with compassion allows you to step into your full potential. Journaling helps process emotions and gain clarity on relationships. Taking care of yourself first is essential.

In this week's podcast, Wendy K Laidlaw discusses how women may suffer excessively when they prioritize others over themselves and at their own expense.  'Done Being a Doormat' highlights how women teach others to treat them through actions and boundaries, defining a "doormat" as someone who accepts mistreatment without objection. Signs of being a doormat include excessive people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, low self-esteem, and avoiding confrontation. Wendy shares her journey from chronic people-pleasing to self-care, addressing the subconscious societal expectations of women.  The podcast discusses the need of women with endometriosis to set new boundaries and emphasises the importance of emotional well-being for healing, encouraging self-awareness and advocating for a balance between self-care and caregiving - to become a Boss of your endometriosis.

In this week's podcast I want to address a pressing issue. I recently spoke to a woman who was told by her gynaecologist that she needed a complete hysterectomy, a procedure involving the removal of her uterus and potentially ovaries. What deeply troubles me is the misinformation women receive about hysterectomies. My own mother had a hysterectomy, and she was devastated by the outcome. She was led to believe it would be a cure-all, but it wasn't. She faced complications and even developed more endometriosis symptoms after the procedure. Many women reach out to us, seeking information, after they are often given frightening and misleading advice from others. Your uterus and ovaries are crucial organs throughout your life, beyond just reproduction. They play a major role in hormone production and preventing conditions like osteoporosis. Yet, some doctors rush to recommend their removal without considering the long-term consequences or other natural options. Some women are told they can keep their ovaries while removing the uterus, but this can lead to blood supply issues to the ovaries, causing them to atrophy and necessitating another surgery. Even worse, some are falsely told that not having a hysterectomy will lead to cancer, a dangerous and highly irresponsible claim. Historically, women have been conditioned to stay silent and not question authority figures, especially in medical settings. It's crucial to understand that you have the right to take your time and make fully informed decisions about your health. These decisions are irreversible, so make sure to gather as much information as possible. Dr. Stanley West, author of "The Hysterectomy Hoax," states that about 90% of hysterectomies are unnecessary. Surgery can often do more harm than good, posing needless risks. Surgeons too often rely on hysterectomies as a 'one-size-fits-all solution' to various conditions, from PMS to fibroids. Even Dr. Sarah Myhill, renowned in the UK, has achieved remission in terminally ill cancer patients, demonstrating that alternatives and natural protocols exist. I do what I do because I remember the fear and devastation I felt when pressured to have a hysterectomy (which I refused). I was scared to question doctors and felt trapped between a rock and a hard place. It's vital to empower yourself with knowledge before making any critical decisions. I believe that most women can achieve remission by following the guidance in my book, online programs and other resources as I have done, along with hundreds of other EndoBosses. Seek safe and expert support, but don't be swayed or react by fear. Reflect on how you cannot reinstate your precious organs once they have been removed.  Surgery is invasive and comes with risks, so take the natural route, even though it may take time, it comes with ZERO side effects and great life long gains. It's a real opportunity for those who are ready for change and self-discovery. Remember, you are in charge of your health and you know your body better than anyone.

We are delighted to introduce you to the delightful Cristine, coming from the beautiful country of Denmark in Europe. Over the span of three decades, starting as young as 14, Cristine grappled with the relentless ebb and flow of menstrual agony for almost 30 years. In her quest for relief, Cristine found herself at the mercy of the medical field, with limited options: pills or pregnancy. However, due to the presence of two 10cm cysts, she eventually felt pressure to undergo surgery and also became a mother of two. But, to her dismay, her symptoms returned with vengeance, turning her monthly cycles into an unbearable ordeal. Desperation and determination led her to explore alternatives. Against the backdrop of medical pressure to embrace hormone replacement therapy, and alarming irresponsible scaremongering about the risk of cancer as she got older, Cristine found herself in a state of fear and anxiety, struggling to trust her own body. Cristine's healing naturally journey began when an act of online searching brought her to Wendy's transformative book called "How I Ended My Endometriosis Naturally Without Painkillers, Drugs, or Surgery" a few years back. This book became her guiding light, helping her navigate the turbulent waters of chronic, excruciatingly painful periods and sizeable cysts.  A pivotal question emerged for her: "Are you worthy of being pain-free and having a good life?"  The answer, of course, was YES and the answer to this question came through her daily practise of morning journalling. It paved the way for Cristine to rediscover her sense of self, an equilibrium, and a way of escaping the confines of a rule-bound existence placed upon herself. Over the course of several years, Cristine revisited this book for inspiration. While her journey had its share of ups, down and bumps along the way, she gradually recognized her own power to heal and her intrinsic worth in the world. A lifelong pattern of overextending herself and prioritising others over her own needs began to shift without shame or guilt.  The narrative she had internalised, which was one that demanded her to be perfect to receive love, gave way to a new perspective. Cristine now declares, "It's been like a QUEST, and I'm okay, and my body is completely capable of healing itself!" From fear and resentment towards her body, she has transitioned to an appreciation of its incredible capabilities for self healing, naturally. She has learned to trust herself and her intuition, transcending pain to embrace a life FREE from endometriosis’s grip. Cristine recognised that the ovaries symbolise creativity, the source of creation and life within oneself—an area that she embarked on improving her awareness on. Cristine's journey offers valuable insights into rediscovering oneself, believing in one's worth, and finding a voice in this world.  It's been a journey inward and heading ‘back home to oneself’—a path from living in fear, in denial and where self-neglect prevailed, to a place of self-love, acceptance and balance. This transformation included reading Wendy's book many times, addressing The 5 P’s (Poisons; Produce, Products, Property, People & Past), incorporating journalling every morning, a daily meditation practise, and working on her closest relationships. Her truly inspiring story serves as a reminder to us all about the importance of balancing what is going on inside our head and body, letting go of the need for external validation, and finding peace within. Cristine now has short, light, ‘non-event’, pain-FREE period every month and no resurfacing of cysts. But the biggest joy in her journey is her connectedness, compassion and acceptance of herself, as she is able to finally live her life FREE from shame, guilt and emotional and physical pain. Now, it's your turn to start on your own EndoBoss® journey of healing and self-discovery.  If you're serious about change, eager to fast-track your transformation over a 12 months timeframe with our specialist and personalised support from our EndoBoss® Team, then be sure to join our email list (and/or double check your spam folder if you are already on it), as applications for the EndoBoss® Academy open soon.
