Election 2024: Sara’s Personal Stories on Healthcare and the Power of Your Vote

In this timely special episode, I set aside the usual format to talk sincerely about what’s at stake in Election 2024 for healthcare, women’s rights, and environmental protections. Drawing from my own experiences with miscarriages, hereditary cancer risks, and an environmental contamination, I share personal stories to highlight how the choices we make at the polls could impact access to compassionate, essential care for women and families.

Policies impacting healthcare, reproductive rights, and environmental safety affect everyone’s quality of life and should be viewed as nonpartisan issues.   This isn’t about politics or parties; it’s about voting for healthcare policies that align with our values and protect our well-being. 

Join me as I explore what these policies mean for our communities, and why voting can be one of the strongest ways to advocate for ourselves and each other.

Topics Covered:

• The impact of healthcare policies on women’s health and hereditary cancer risk management
• Environmental health risks, including PFAS contamination, and the importance of regulatory protections
• Personal reflections on the role of faith, compassion, and self-advocacy in healthcare
