This series dives into the transformative power of self-care as an essential tool for managing chronic illness. As a pharmacist and self-care strategist, I'm here to explore how intentional self-care can reduce stress, support physical and mental well-being, and help you feel more in control of your health. We'll discuss practical, everyday self-care strategies tailored to the unique challenges of chronic illness, from nutrition and movement to mental wellness and setting boundaries. Each episode will leave you with actionable tips that empower you to prioritize yourself, improve your quality of life, and manage your condition with greater confidence. In this episode, I am joined by Tamika Smith, a medical gaslighting survivor, a dedicated community health advocate and public speaker. She founded Mone's Healthy Eats, which promotes holistic alternatives for preventative care and chronic health issues, offering solutions without harsh side effects. While not discounting the value of traditional medication regimens, Tamika's personal experience with unsuitable treatment plans—leading to multiple mild to life-threatening side effects—drove her to explore alternative approaches. Her frustration with one-size-fits-all treatments and being medically gaslit, even after diagnoses of Endometriosis and Lupus, fueled her determination to find better solutions. Tamika's journey has made her a vocal advocate for health and healthcare equality. She has recently been featured on the Tamron Hall Show “Medical Gaslighting,” The Grio's segment "Life Hacks," BlackDoctor.org's "Better Together," and in notable magazines, where she inspires others to advocate for their health. Tamika is recognized for her collaborative efforts with clinicians, providing valuable insights from a patient's perspective.

Having recently received the prestigious title of 'Entrepreneur Woman of the Year' and being nominated as a finalist for the ‘Queenslander of the Year' award, Founding Director of TSR Property Solutions, Tamika Smith, continues to defy norms in a traditionally male-dominated industry, shattering glass ceilings to prove that gender is not a limitation when it comes to driving social change. For years, the construction sector has exhibited a significant gender disparity, with men occupying the majority of positions and women representing only a meager 11% of the workforce. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of leaders like Tamika Smith, this landscape is gradually transforming. As a prominent figure within the Top 100 Women, a board of experienced professionals and leading organisations in the construction sector, Smith is actively working towards making a significant impact on the industry we know today. Through her commitment to accountability and a focus on the "How," Tamika has successfully expanded the influence of the Top 100 Women, attracting over 13,500 individuals from Australia and around the world. Smith's passion for making a difference extends beyond her professional endeavors. Her unwavering commitment to social advocacy shines through her remarkable leadership in the #istandforkelly movement. With compassion as her guiding force, Tamika rallied the construction sector to come together for a powerful cause: providing a safe haven for the children of Kelly Wilkinson, a victim of domestic violence who tragically lost her life at the hands of her husband. In an awe-inspiring display of solidarity, #istandforkelly managed to touch the hearts of people from all walks of life, who generously contributed a staggering $1.5 million within a mere 48 hours. These heartfelt donations stand as a testament to the collective power of compassion, uniting individuals far and wide for the greater good.In this episode, we speak to Tamika about:Discovering purpose within traumatic encounters and harnessing adversity as a catalyst for transformative action.We discover how our uncertainty and fear play a vital role in embracing calculated risks and stepping into uncharted territories.Recognising that short-term strategies do not resolve long-term challenges.How achievements are often undermined due to the power of stereotypes within a male-dominated industry and how Smith fearlessly challenges and breaks through these barriers.Recognising manipulation within the workplace and reclaiming your power.Understanding the challenges faced by individuals attempting to escape domestic violence and the complex factors that make it difficult for women to simply "just leave."Exploring the distressingly lengthy waitlists for social housing and the profound sense of displacement experienced by those affected.You can connect with Tamika on LinkedIn.

Tamika Smith, a familiar voice on WAMU's airwaves, will start her new role immediately. Smith has held various roles at the station since 2014.
In this very special guest episode about women in construction, I talk to Tamika Smith who is the founder and director of Top 100 Women, who's made it her mission to build up women in the construction industry. Top 100 Women supports women entering the industry, and gives them the support they need to build long and meaningful careers. Now people from the industry are flocking to Top 100 Women, to get the expertise and advice that can help them retain the women in their workforce. “We know the retention rates are quite low for women in construction,” Tamika says. “Hence why we're getting approached by a number of educational providers and large scale companies who want the support for their women.” Builders Academy Australia is proud to be partnered with Top 100 Women and be able to draw on the experience and expertise of someone like Tamika. When we spoke to Tamika recently, she shared how she got involved in building and construction, and how she's helping to transform the future of our industry.We talk about what women bring to the construction sector, how empathy can shape the way our industry can support a more inclusive approach. Tamika tells the story of humanity and support for those in need (Kelly's Story) and we discuss the role of women in the construction workforce moving forward.
