As the parent, I think innately, especially this younger generation, they have a lot of feelings.
They have a lot of sensitivities.
And I think that allowing them to breathe and be seen without being considered trouble or high maintenance or asking for too much or needing more attention, that space would be really sacred.
My advice and my championship would be to give themselves
The permission to have a voice that's for their own wellness, not for outside.
I think that the simple permission to say, I'm ready for something to change a little bit.
I don't know what that is, but I believe that there is a version of me that is truer and giving it her time to be now.
That's what I would love is just to encourage a place of readiness.
What I have found in the work that I've done, not only personally with autoimmunity, but in the research and the space and the conversations with others,
is to realize that when our bodies are out of balance and our immune systems are not able to recognize themselves, to me, the mirror to that is that it's a sense of self and compromise that is simultaneously
contributing to an immune system in compromise.
And that when we are aligned as a sense of self, it can help align our immune systems.
Oh, golly.
Autoimmunity and the Good Girls, how the permission to put ourselves first has the power to keep us well, is my personal contribution to the conversation around why so many women like me, raised to be good, are getting sick.
As a lifelong storyteller and documentary filmmaker, I approached it like a literary documentary.
It's got a journey of a woman or a girl with the first time that's mine, combined with experts spanning science to soul, research amongst a thousand American women that I commissioned myself, one-on-one interviews with a lot of eldest daughters, middle daughters, and younger daughters to feel into that contrast of how so many of us were raised differently.
and how those might be echoing or not echoing illness later on as women.
And lastly, just a little bit of magic, which always shows up in the room somehow.
which in this book, it's introducing several stories of divine feminine mythology and stories of transformation to reinforce that we are hardwired to become something new.
Thank you, friend, so much.
