It has been an amazing launch! 🚀 After hearing so much positive response from our community, we are fueled forward with even more motivation to make the best possible product for hormonal care. So who's it all for? Our passion comes with purpose, and the purpose of launching the Belle app is ease the path to self-care for... 🔹 the 1 in 20 women who experience premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) 🎢 the ones riding the roller coaster every month, sometimes barely hanging on 💪 the ones who are powerful and determined to play an active role in their health ⚠️ the ones who know that PMDD is not just a “bad mood” or “being hormonal” 🧘 the ones who are learning to listen to their bodies and practice self-care 🔎 the ones who have been often misdiagnosed (and for a long time!) 🤝 the ones who raise awareness about PMDD and build community with us 🛡️ the ones who are brave and seek help and support 🏆 the ones who keep showing up for themselves and advocating for a better quality of life — said simply, the PMDD warriors! 💪🏼 Check out our mission and download our app here: https://bellehealth.co/

I’m incredibly proud to share this new video about Dr. Amee Shah, a South Asian professional and mother who has courageously lived with epilepsy since she was 8 years old. In this video, Dr. Shah opens up about: ➡️ Growing up with nocturnal seizures and navigating life in silence. ➡️ The stigma surrounding epilepsy and how it impacts mental health. ➡️ A life-changing medical trial that reframed her perspective on trust and surrender. Her journey isn’t just about managing a neurological condition—it’s a powerful reminder of the importance of self-advocacy, breaking stigma, and embracing vulnerability. 🎥 Watch the full story here: https://lnkd.in/g5GYM8FV This is more than just a story—it’s a call to action to understand and support those living with invisible illnesses. If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to watch, share, and engage in this important conversation. Let’s work together to break down stigma and raise awareness. 💜 #EpilepsyAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #InvisibleIllness #Storytelling #Inspiration #Advocacy #Resilience

October 7th - 13th marks Dyspraxia Awareness Week and aims to - unsurprisingly - raise awareness about dyspraxia and bring together the community. This week, I am so grateful to Hashtag Me for allowing me to write about my experience of living with dyspraxia and giving me a platform to help raise awareness for the condition. If you'd like to read my article you can find it here 👉https://lnkd.in/exqwSsmQ Dyspraxia is a common neurological condition that affects mobility and coordination, motor skills and daily life skills - such as social functioning, time management and dealing with emotions. Dyspraxia Awareness Week is so important to help educate others about the condition as despite being so common, it's often unheard of. For me, I had never come across it until it came to taking driving lessons. I struggled to multitask and had issues with my coordination and organisational skills whilst driving. This led to my instructor suggesting that I get tested for dyspraxia. Upon reading more about it online, a lot of my life seemed to make sense. Growing up, I'd always struggled in PE; I couldn't swim, couldn't catch, couldn't throw and still can't very well to this day. I received a diagnosis a few months ago and at first I found it upsetting and hard to deal with. As time has passed, I've grown to understand my dyspraxia more and can see the strengths it gives me. A dyspraxia diagnosis isn't the end of the world. Dyspraxia doesn’t define your abilities or limit your potential, it just means you have to approach tasks differently, with more patience and persistence. #DyspraxiaAwareness, #DevelopmentalCoordinationDisorder, #InclusiveEducation, #SupportDyspraxia, #UnderstandingDyspraxia, #DyspraxiaStrengths, #DyspraxiaChallenges

💜 Did you know that epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide? Today is Purple Day, a global movement dedicated to raising epilepsy awareness. There are still many misconceptions surrounding this condition so let's take this opportunity to educate ourselves and others about epilepsy, its impact, and how we can support those living with it. Epilepsy is more than just seizures; it can impact every aspect of a person's life, from physical health to mental well-being and social life. By understanding epilepsy better, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. Will you be wearing purple today? Let’s paint the world purple this #PurpleDay and show our support for epilepsy awareness. #GGSWE #GirlguidingSWE #EpilepsyAwareness
