SpeakerAn invisible illness stripped Silvia of her career, social circles and independence, challenging her to rebuild her best life possible. Silvia intimately shares how she overcame her most crushing decade, after enduring twenty-five years of gaslighting and misdiagnoses. By practicing five insightful and universal lifelines to conquer life's tragedies, she motivates and inspires her audience to awaken the hero inside. Silvia also shares taboo truths of living inside the female body, a history of reproductive healthcare to our current reality, from the patient's experience, and an unfiltered Q&A.
