Keeping It Jersey with Laura Vaisman

The end of 2022 was really difficult for me, I was in debilitating pain, so much so I was struggling to walk. As someone who works out all the time and loves to move, this was devastating to me. By April 18th, 2023 I would undergo 5 hours of surgery and get diagnosed with Stage 4 Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis. I discuss some of the major symptoms I had and how I advocated for myself until I found a doctor who would listen to me. I speak about how difficult the road to recovery both physically and mentally was probably the hardest thing I've ever dealt with in my life.

I sit down with Dr. Kelly Sadauckas, DPT, OCS, WCS who is a pelvic floor therapist for Endometriosis Awareness Month to bring awareness to this complex and complicated disease that actually isn't so rare. I shed light on how important and vital pelvic floor therapy was and still is a major part of my recovery success.

This is about my story and how I will use every ounce of my voice to bring forth awareness to Endometriosis and that you are indeed your best advocate. And that you can heal and feel good again, I feel like I got a second chance at life.

And always remember, an educated patient is an empowered patient.

Today's episode back in July 2020, Laura speaks with Koos Klooster from Confused Confucius podcast. He's a sports psychologist who interviews experts about their journey of success from a psychological standpoint. He asks about performance psychology from a range of people to get a better understanding of their habit creation, emotional regulation, concentration, mindfulness/meditative techniques, and most importantly rest/recovery techniques. Laura speaks about how important her creativity is to put out her most authentic work, she never forces her creativity and the moment she does, she stops. She speaks about how important breaks and lack of judgment are for a writer, and to speak from your truth.

(April 25th, 2020) Laura sits with Monta Vilumsone who was so inspired by watching her talk with Gary Vee, she had to have her on the show. Monta asks how Laura overcame her fear from not doing video content for 12 years and how things have been since Tea With Gary Vee. Monta is a traveler herself and has struggled with anxiety & depression, which opens the discussion of mental health. Laura explains how traveling the world helped her anxiety and shares how one can manage their mental health.

I had the chance to speak with Gary Vee today last year. I've been a writer for the last 12+ years and have now published my second book, Penny Panic which I talk about with him. I had questions to ask about my writing and why it's not taking off even though people love what I write and give me great feedback. Gary Vee gives me the Jersey kick in the ass and calls me the fuck out. Listen to what he has to say and the breakthrough I had.  I'm grateful I had this moment and now a year later today, I'm starting my podcast with one of my favorite moments of a crazy 2020. I'm excited for this new venture and I appreciate you all who are here listening. Stay tuned for more episodes to come from the wild journey I've been on since last year!
