Peace and Self-Care - A Chat with Nita Clewis - Episode 12

<p>It's June and that means it's Lipedema Awareness Month. I hope that you will be taking advantage of all the events that will be occurring online to educate us and the general public about lipedema.

I'm sure this episode will strike a note with many facing lipedema and everyday self-care challenges. If you like more words of wisdom from Nita, you can find them on her blog - The Whole and Balanced Living blog at https://www.facebook.com/WholeBalancedLiving.</p><p>My cockatiels tried to join in the conversation too, so I apologize for the distraction. With or without them, I think you'll find Nita's advice helpful.</p><p>I also discuss the recent release of the U.S. Standards
