STRESSED?
This week Alex and Mary reflect on some comments they received on one of their TikTok videos. They discuss the difference between knowledge and fear in regards to research, awareness, and growing through experiential information. Why do we fear learning more about our bodies, our health? Why is sharing our experiences, in order to help others be advocates for themselves, viewed as “fear-mongering” by some?
