#156 - Done Being A Doormat

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.

In this week's podcast, Wendy K Laidlaw shares the three secrets about HOW deeply subconscious emotions maybe connected to the surfacing of disease (dis-ease) showing up in the body. "Blocked, or deeply suppressed emotions, combined with subconscious intergenerational trauma, make the perfect breeding ground for disease (dis-ease) in the body. However, once you learn HOW to embrace emotions, healing of the mind, body and spirit begins.”- Wendy K Laidlaw Wendy shares a recent 'How To Embrace Emotions Retreat' Masterclass replay where she explains how and why deeply blocked emotions embedded in the lower subconscious parts of the brain, maybe unprocessed and impairing the immune system. This transformative in-person Retreat in Southern Portugal starts in 14 days.  To learn more go to:- https://embracingemotions.com/retreat_portugal_2023 #HealEndometriosisNaturally #WendyKLaidlaw #EndoBoss #EmbracingEmotionsRetreat  

In this week's podcast Wendy K Laidlaw talks about past pain, especially from close relationships, often erodes trust and makes us keep our hearts closed off.  Whilst balancing the need for protection and connection can be challenging, extremes of isolation or vulnerability with our hearts were unhelpful. Either, life's beauty often gets overshadowed by sadness and loneliness when we shield our hearts or we get hurt from being too open.  The key is a balanced middle ground. To heal and reopen your heart involves gradual steps combined with the implementation of strong, protective mechanisms. Creating a protective mechanism enables you to identify triggers and set boundaries, and amid the fast-paced chaos of today’s society, listening to your inner voice and having brick-like boundaries becomes vital. On her own journey, doing these things allowed Wendy to rebuild trust in herself. She realised not everyone is kind and stopped 'idealising those who hurt her' and learned to differentiate genuine connections from toxic ones.  Wendy realised it was okay to hear uncomfortable truths about people and to say no when someone’s behaviour or requests didn’t work for her. If you need assistance safely re-opening your heart then join her at her Retreat. You will be able to learn how to hear your voice, establish boundaries, and navigate various personalities. Even more so, you will be able to experience safe connections and fully relax in the tranquil settings of the Retreat. Mother Teresa said the worst disease is feeling unwanted and for so long she felt this way. Now, her heart now shines, is unshackled and strong and she is able to appreciate the world around her. Let her guide you to heal the hurts of your heart. Learn more and visit https://embracingemotions.com/retreat_portugal_2023 @quintacarvalhas."

"The Wall or The Way" is both a reflection from Wendy K Laidlaw on memories of emotional healing and personal growth and an invitation for 'Super Sensitive Souls' to join her for emotional healing in the upcoming 'Emotional Healing Retreat' led by her personally, this October in Portugal. The podcast starts with Wendy's reflection on a recent emotionally intense experience where she watched someone she admired succumb to the poison, negativity and manipulation of a toxic individual who newly entered her life. She then talks about the dangers of seeking external validation for self worth and the challenges of societal conditioning, conformity, and toxic influences that may hinder emotional well-being. Many individuals face pressure to conform to societal norms and appearances, often leading to emotional distress and self-doubt. She highlights the paradox of seeking happiness externally and introduces the concept of peace, joy and happiness being an "inside job" and for achieving emotional well-being and authenticity. Finally, Wendy invites you to the Retreat so that she can help you address and MASTER your emotional struggles. She knows that deeply sensitive, caring, and selfless individuals tend to have difficulty valuing themselves and setting essential personal boundaries, due to deep-seated abandonment and rejection issues.  So, the Emotional Healing Retreat promises an opportunity for these individuals to unweave societal indoctrination, listen to their inner wisdom, and mend inter-generational emotional wounds - while transitioning toward peace. Wendys aims to do this through uniquely tailored tools, expert support, and guidance and knows that all who attend will learn emotional mastery about their emotions which will allow for emotional healing and personal growth. Limited spaces are available.

Welcome to the concept of "The Bank of Borrowed Beliefs," a conceptual oasis where the currency of success is not measured in monetary value but in the intangible power of belief.

These beliefs are the stepping stones to your aspirations, paving the way for your journey toward personal triumph - and healing your body naturally.
