She’ll be joined in conversation by Godmothers co-founder Victoria Jackson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor generations, women have been told to be “good”—to put others first, to silence their own voices, to neglect their own needs. But a new groundswell of evidence reveals the cost: when our lives are compromised, so are our immune systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaised in a big Texas-Lebanese family as the eldest and only daughter, Sara Hirsh Bordo grew up caring for everyone else’s needs at the expense of her own. Later, as an acclaimed director lifting up other women’s stories, she watched her own body collapse under the weight of autoimmune disease and cancer. Only when she finally reclaimed sovereignty over her own voice, did she heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetermined to understand this link, Sara funded the first quantitative research at the intersection of female empowerment and autoimmunity. The results were groundbreaking: women raised in caretaker roles—especially eldest daughters—are disproportionately likely to develop autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s, lupus, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and more. This study, endorsed by former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Richard Carmona, garnered national media attention and has been shared across 26 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Godmothers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52440557879586,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/8637\/3154\/files\/sara.png?v=1788817677","url":"https:\/\/godmothers.com\/products\/godmothers-gather-sara-hirsh-bordo-victoria-jackson","provider":"Godmothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
