Introducing: Regarding Me

01/20/25 • 2 min

Have you ever left a doctor’s office with more questions than answers? Have you ever felt lost in the maze of medical jargon or overwhelmed by decisions you need to make about your health? Do you break out in a sweat at the mere thought of asking for a 2nd opinion?

My name’s Luan and I’m a women’s health advocate with a personal history of breast cancer. I learned the hard way that navigating the healthcare system requires more than just showing up – it’s about speaking up and advocating for yourself.

The Regarding Me podcast is all about empowering women to take control of their health and proactively advocate for the healthcare care that’s right for them - because your voice and your choices matter.

From understanding your options to building confidence in difficult discussions with your team, Regarding Me is your space for honest conversations, relatable advice and a supportive community of women who understand what you’re going through.

Together we’ll make sure your voice is heard and your care reflects what matters to you most.

Think TED talk meets support group, when you’re 6 weeks in and you know how everyone likes their tea (or coffee!).

Listen in and join me and the growing community of women who are transforming their health through self-advocacy.

Let’s do this!
