Another example of women’s pain being dismissed! To think Drs let you walk around on a badly arthritic knee for so long?!

I hope we look to a future where GPs are better trained on 1) women’s health and chronic pain and 2) how to manage obesity with proper support and sensitivity. It’s so much more complex than saying eat less and move more.

Hard relate to this Leigh!! My two year old is in daycare on a day I’m off work. Some mums have expressed surprise that I wouldn’t have her with me for the day. Nope, love my Fridays to myself… and then I’m always so excited to pick her up after filling my cup first. 

Some solid tips here! I need to try the morning to do list with timings. Why I think I can fit a workout, shower, breakfast, makeup, blowdry etc into one hour in the morning is anyone’s guess.
