Join me for a bonus episode where I’m in the interviewee seat once again, answering all sorts of questions about being a woman with a diagnosis. Dawn Morgan and I are diving into the uncertainty that so often comes with managing health with multiple diagnoses and an ever changing body. Whether it’s symptoms that overlap, unexpected challenges, or just not knowing exactly what’s going on in our bodies, I’ve learned that certainty isn’t always possible—but that doesn’t mean we’re powerless. I’m sharing my personal journey of navigating MS, osteoporosis, and hormonal unknowns, and how shifting my mindset has helped me focus on what actually makes a difference.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Power of Perspective: Instead of getting stuck in the unknowns, how to focus on what I can control—nutrition, movement, rest, and mindset—all of which support my body in ways that matter.
  • When Symptoms Overlap: Chronic disease symptoms often mirror aging, hormonal shifts, and other conditions. Rather than chasing a perfect answer, try a new approach.
  • Asking Better Questions: Rather than asking “Is this MS or something else?” I’ve found it more helpful to ask, “What’s one thing I can do today to support my health?”
  • Advocating for Whole-Person Care: Dawn’s sharing her quest to foster a healthcare team that considers all of us—not just a certain autoimmune disease—so we can get the best possible support for our mind and bodies.
  • DO of the DAY: In the face of uncertainty, start a list of everything you are certain about.

The good news is, most of the things we know we should be doing to feel better will help everything—MS, aging, hormones, mindset, and beyond.

And if uncertainty is a habitual feeling…one you find yourself feeling more often than you’d like…you’re not alone. I’ll boldly claim it is a superpower of the CLUB, because I needed to figure out how to get out of uncertainty on repeat…so it’s something I got good at and it’s something I walk you through, if you’re looking for that too. Come see if the CLUB could be your plan for a taking more control of your health at www.amybehimercoaching.com/join
