Shownotes
In this deeply important episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Saoirse—health coach, yoga instructor, and patient liaison for Live UTI Free—to discuss the often overlooked realities of chronic illness, especially when it affects women’s pelvic and bladder health. They unpack why conditions like UTIs and endometriosis remain under-researched, how nervous system regulation is a critical and accessible tool in healing, and what practical steps listeners can take to support themselves through flare-ups and fatigue.
Whether you're navigating a silent illness, caring for others, or feeling dismissed by the medical system, this conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, and your experience matters.
