395 Luan Lawrenson-Woods: Self-Advocacy That Saves Lives
My guest this week is Luan Lawrenson-Woods - women’s health advocate and host of the Regarding Me podcast, which helps women build the confidence and tools to self-advocate in their healthcare.
At 46, Luan received a breast cancer diagnosis that changed the course of her life. Her experience navigating the health system inspired her to create Rewritten Me, Australia’s first podcast on post-mastectomy reconstruction, and later Regarding Me, where she shares her Six Self-Advocacy Steps alongside expert interviews and lived stories.
Her story has been featured on Nine News and The Today Show, and she is building platforms that ensure women are heard, informed, and empowered in decisions about their bodies and health.
In this episode, we explore Luan’s journey from personal health crisis to public advocate, why self-advocacy is vital for women navigating complex systems, and how sharing her story has inspired a movement for change.
