#iamkoko * 24 hours Post surgery Edition * Down but not out 🤘🏼 This one is for the Girls, the chicks, the babes, the women …. We go thru so much with our bodies in a lifetime, big life altering changes to our bodies (and minds); menstruation as early as 11 years old, pregnancy/post partum , infertility, pre menopause, menopause and then there are all the women’s health issues in between…. Women are fighting battles inside you often know nothing about. We are often judged (and judge ourselves) on the physical with out giving ourselves credit for dealing with what’s going on within. As I reflect on the last year, honestly feel like the surgery was the “easy” part (recovery TBD 😅) …. As the last 6 months have taken a toll on my physical and mental self. It’s been a challenge as I have felt my health, energy & quality of life drain a way. As i look at my body 24 hours post surgury I am amazed at modern medicine. Yet, modern medicine also failed me….After Repeatedly raising concerns about my health & being told nothing was wrong with me. “ You are older, you will just gain weight”, “Stick it out for a few years it will balance out”, “Up your Advil “, “mix up your exercise “, “try supplements “, “change your diet”. Advocating for myself & not accepting the Dr.s “answers” to find out what was happening INSIDE my body and instead seeking out a women’s internal health specialist/expert (not a OBGYN) was one the most important choices I have made. ***I had severe stage 4 endometriosis (on several organs) , along with a 6cm endometriona ovarian cyst, 5cm fibroid as well as several 2cm forbids. I gained 12 lbs, was in constant discomfort and my body had started to swell up abnormally. In surgery I had my Uterus, Cervix, Appendix, Fallopian tubes and all my Endometriosis removed. It’s hard to remember to what it feels like to function pain free BUT I am lucky to have the chance to do just that. ——>>>>> And I remind myself …..and You…. ❤️Look at yourself with kindness….our bodies can be soft, scarred, dimpled and still be strong, beautiful and capable….Worthy of pride and love ❤️ 🫶🏻 Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, happy to help!

Advice for Girls Be loud. Be gross. Take up space. Stop saying “sorry”. Start saying “don’t interrupt me”. Stop saying “because I have a boyfriend” Start saying “because I said so”. Say “no” Say “none of your business”. Take selfies Don’t laugh at jokes that aren’t funny. Be snide and sarcastic. Wear you hair the way you like it. Help out other girls. Be vocal about what makes you mad. Be masculine. Be feminine. Be both. Be neither. Be unapologetic. And don’t set aside your comfort for boys’ egos. #internationalwomensday Everyday. Thanks to all the women who inspire me ❤️

Lezzz freaking Goooooooo ladieszzz 🤘🏼 “The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.”- Thank YOU to the women before me….for paving the way ….And the many that stand shoulder to shoulder with me today 🙌🏼 We continue to work towards equality in the work place, earning a wage and creating an environment where women can thrive…BUT we have work to do! “I mean how hard can it be” …Well, historically it’s been a bit hard 😅 2024– Women in the workplace earn 16% less than men on average. Women earn just 84 cents for every dollar a man makes 🙅‍♀️ - No U.S. federal law provides a right to paid family or medical leave. - Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that only about 1 in 4 employees (27 percent) in the private sector workforce have access to paid family leave. Nearly 3 in 4 (73 percent) private sector employees do not have access to paid family leave. - 54% of women experience workplace harassment. 58% of these women do not report it. ❗️❗️❗️The good news is❗️❗️❗️ Women now comprise 35% of workers in the United States’ 10 highest-paying occupations – up from 13% in 1980. In 2023, women worked in notable occupations: 20% of surgeons, 30.6% of chief executives, 39.5% of lawyers, and 57% of accountants or auditors were women. Some 14 million women-owned businesses make up 39.1% of all US businesses—a 13.6% increase from 2019 to 2023. Women-owned businesses generate $2.7 trillion annually. We are on our way! Happy #internationalwomensday everyday!
