Episode #30: The Power of Perspective | How a Devastating Diagnosis is Fueling a Purpose-Filled Mission

IG FB Feed image.png

Welcome back to another episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast. I am so excited to have another amazing warrior sharing her story with us. Anita Meeks has spent the last 27 years as an expert in the Payment Processing Industry. She continues to work with business owners all over the country assisting them and tailoring a solution that best suits their needs with the acceptance of payments from their customers.  However, 4 ½ months ago she was unexpectedly diagnosed with Epilepsy, which has forever changed her life. After having to self-advocate for herself she has, in addition to her business, become an advocate and ambassador for the Epilepsy community. What makes Anita unique is that she is open, vulnerable, and speaks her truth as she is a patient herself. Most who speak of Epilepsy, are the caretakers and loved ones, versus those who live with it. She is passionate about speaking nationally on all that Epilepsy is and what it is not, with the hopes of minimizing the negative stigma behind Epilepsy.

Join Anita in her Fearlessly ALIVE Facebook group to be inspired by more stories of adversity and how people learned to overcome them. In this group, she gives hope to those who may feel stuck in their lives and let them know they are not alone.

Episode #23: You Can Reverse Chronic Disease with Dr. Jenn Simmons 

IG FB image (9).png

A MUST LISTEN episode for each and every one of us!!! Dr. Jenn Simmons is a functional medicine physician who lives in Gladwyne, PA with her husband, Albert, and two boys, Andrew and Will.  Dr. Simmons attended Jefferson Medical College, completed a general surgery residency at Albany Medical Center, and was the inaugural fellow in breast disease in Philadelphia in 2003.  Just three years into her career, she was named TOP DOC by Philadelphia Magazine and maintained that title every year since. Dr. Simmons was one of the leaders in breast surgery and cancer care in Philadelphia for 16 years.  She performed innovative, cutting-edge surgery and successfully treated thousands of women for breast cancer.   She was frequently called on for interviews by both local and national news outlets, as a breast cancer authority.  She speaks both locally and regionally on the topic of breast health, disease prevention, and the treatment of breast cancer. 

In 2017, Dr. Simmons was diagnosed with her first auto-immune disease.  It was then that she learned the importance of diet in promoting health.  Being a traditionally trained physician, she had limited training in the area of nutrition.  She learned of functional medicine during this time and began doing some training in that field.  So intoxicated by the concept of pursuing health rather than treating illness, she immersed herself in the study of functional medicine.  In late 2018, following her second auto-immune diagnosis, she knew that she needed to leave surgery, both to heal herself but to help others to truly heal as well! 

In October 2019, she founded Real Health MD, a comprehensive wellness center that offers functional medicine and access to a host of other interventions that provide a roadmap to those who want to stop treating symptoms and instead know real health.  After only a few months of practice, she was put on the cover of Main Line Today as their TOP DOC in integrative medicine! 

Dr. Simmons frequently speaks on her health journey, and on what she has learned in the course of healing herself.  She continues to serve her breast cancer population by helping them and others to achieve hormonal health. 

When Dr. Simmons is not working, you can find her spending time with her family, at the dog park with her three dogs, perusing her local farmers market, on the tennis court, or in the kitchen with friends cooking up a storm.

Hey Warriors! 

This episode is just too good!

Hey Warriors-

In this episode, I put it all out there!  How I'm feeling, how Mother's Day has triggered me and what emotions I'm feeling during quarantine.  I also offer advice to help you focus on what activities you are doing during quarantine and are you doing things that will numb your emotions or comfort you during this time.  I don't have all the answers.  In fact, I don't have any really.  I only can offer my personal experience and advice for how I'm getting through this time, as a woman, a wife, and a mom of 4 kids who I pray get through this time safe and healthy.   

Happy Mothers Day to all of you!  You are doing such a wonderful job!

Episode #15: How Optimism & Mindfulness Heal After A Devastating Diagnosis Interview with Bizzette Gailewicz

IG post ep15.png

Hey Warriors- 

I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this unprecedented and crazy time.  We are all navigating unchartered waters, with worry and fear driving our thoughts each day. Now, more than ever, we need to focus on our mental wellness and daily practices to stay mentally strong. 

In this episode, mindful mommy Bizette Gailewicz, shares her health journey with us and how focusing on positivity and mindfulness helped her heal.  At 27 years-old she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder. She then battled pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, cardiac and kidney failure, and years of major flare-ups of lupus. Throughout her journey, she refused to accept the diagnosis she was given and was determined not to let it define her. She reached out to holistic healers and used practices such as mindfulness and meditation to help guide her through her journey. 

Today, she is healed and has dedicated her life to empowering children to help control big emotions so they grow into healthier and happier adults. She teaches meditation to children and has written a children’s book on meditation. She believes giving them the tools they need at a young age will help them to deal with the challenges that we all inevitably experience in life. I couldn’t argee more! Take a listen to this inspiring episode to hear how Bizettte healed herself by focusing on what she could control in her life, her mindset!

Episode #14: How Two Badass Business Owners Warrior Up During a Shutdown

Copy of IG post templates (8).png

Hey Warriors-

I hope that everyone is staying healthy, safe, and sane as we all adhere to social distancing and do our best to support our local healthcare providers and all essential workers at this time.  They are truly our heroes, keeping business moving and leaving their homes so that we can have food, medicine, and all the essentials that we need. We are extremely grateful for you! 

This is a scary and devastating time for many business owners. Many of us live in a small town where the local businesses are the heart and soul of our town.  They are there for us, supporting our community, and brining us together through their food, services or entertainment.  In this weeks special episode of Suburban Warrior Podcast, I interview two small business owners from very different businesses.  

Sean Coyle, owner of The Goat's Beard Restaurant in Manayunk and Wayne, PA and Maureen Doron, owner of SKIRT Fashion Boutique in Bryn Mawr & Philadelphia, PA and Stone Harbor, NJ.  Two very different businesses, both forced to reevaluate how they do business during a shut down.   These brave owners share their journey of how they had to instantly and consistently pivot their business model just to keep the lights on.  And not only are they thinking outside the box as to how they can still serve their customers, but they are giving back to the community as well, putting those less fortunate first and extending a hand to neighbors in need.  A true example of what it means to be a small business and support a community.  Take a listen!  My hope is that if you own a business of your own, this may help you to think differently as to how you can support your customer base and if you are a customer or a client, please consider supporting a small business if you can.  Now more than ever, they need us just as much as we've always needed them.
