#070: Women and Heart Attacks!

In honor of our TWO YEAR PODAVERSARY we are re-publishing our episode on Women and Heart Attacks where we interviewed Staci Ross and Kim Newlin after Staci suffered a heart attack. In that episode, we walked through Staci’s heart attack experience as well as how Kim (a friend and nurse) helped her identify her symptoms and get immediate care. Heart attacks are the leading killer of women world-wide. Yet, women sometimes downplay or disregard apparent symptoms.   We hope you will pass this episode along to the women you love. Help women identify their symptoms and learn strategies to advocate for themselves.  Music by Epidemic Sound.  Experts :  Kim Newlin, R.N. and Staci Ross, M.A., L.M.F.T.
