Happy September, Mighties! 🌟

We've already reached this far into the year! There have definitely been ups, downs, twists, and turns, but that doesn't stop us from setting new intentions, aspirations, or creating opportunities for ourselves.

Whether it's related to your health and treatment, visiting a place you've always wanted to go, tackling a task you've been putting off, having a conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a while, finishing a project you've been working on, starting a new one that's been stirring in your mind, or creating a routine that feels best for your body—what's something you want to get to by the end of this year?

Living with a health condition or disability can change us. Depending on what we’re experiencing, it often comes with valuable—and sometimes uncomfortable—lessons we carry forward. Different seasons of our lives bring different lessons.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks is currently learning that she has to speak up for herself when she needs something. She can’t do everything on her own, especially as her symptoms become more challenging to navigate.

What’s a lesson you’re learning?

Seeing someone new for your health or treatment can bring up a mix of emotions—hope, anticipation, relief, anxiety, just to name a few. That's completely normal, especially if it took time, energy, and effort to find a health care professional who may help bring more clarity to your health journey.

Finding someone who could be a good fit doesn't end with booking the first appointment. Just like building any important relationship, preparing ahead of time can help you feel more confident and make the most of your visit.

How do you prepare for a first appointment? How do you bring up the topics that are most important to you? What supplies, notes, or medical records do you bring? Do you invite a trusted family member or friend to come with you? What helps you feel safe, supported, and comfortable during the appointment?

Happy Friday, Mighties! 💫

As we wrap up the week (and the month!), let's take a moment to share goals we have when it comes to our overall health, a specific symptom, or your treatment plan.

What's something you hope to better understand? What would you like to be more consistent with? What questions or feedback do you have for your doctor or care team? What challenges do you want to overcome or need clarity to approach?

Feel free to share your goals below! 📋
