Take30 Webinar: Stepping out of Character (and into ourselves)
2021-05-05 12:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Topic: Stepping out of Character (and into ourselves)
Presenter: Jericho Bulaun, Transformational Coach & Speaker (IG: @jerichobulaun)
About this Take 30 Webinar:
“The world we have been shown, the one that we’ve been brought up in has always been shaped by the people we keep around us. In our early years, this is our family and as we get older maybe friends, TV, music etc. also have an influence of the characters we build ourselves to be.
Have you ever found yourself questioning why you are the way you are? Have you ever questioned a part of your character, culture, or society?
If the answer to any of those things was yes, then let me help you explore that line of questioning by showing you how we’ve all been living for our whole lives – for other people, through the eyes of what we feel like will be liked and accepted.
How would it feel if we could tap into who we are on the inside…behind all the external things we identify with? In this presentation, we will address this and give you a different perspective on authenticity and confidence.”

Atypical Locations of Endometriosis - Endometriosis Support Group
2021-02-24 15:00 - 16:00
Endometriosis Online Support Group (FREE and open to the public)
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 @ 3 PM, PST
Topic: Atypical Locations of Endometriosis
Guest Presenter: Sadikah Behbehani, MD, University of California Riverside School of Medicine. Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Assistant Professor.
What you’ll learn during this webinar presentation
Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain and infertility. Unfortunately, symptoms may often be dismissed or misdiagnosed especially by physicians who may be unfamiliar with the complexity of the disease. While endometriosis typically grows in the pelvic area, it may also travel to locations outside the pelvis.
Understanding the atypical locations of endometriosis is key in the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of women with pelvic pain. While a multidisciplinary approach is often necessary to target all aspects of the disease, the initial evaluation should be performed by a gynecologist trained in detecting the disease wherever it may be located. Full excision of endometriotic implants, inside and outside the pelvis, is necessary to alleviate symptoms. This talk will focus on atypical locations of endometriosis, and the symptoms associated with disease found in those locations.
Speaker Bio:
Sadikah Behbehani, MD specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility as well as Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. She completed a Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada fellowship at McGill University which allows her to skillfully treat all aspects of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. In addition, Dr. Behbehani has completed a second fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Mayo Clinic and can perform complex pelvic surgeries with both laparoscopy and robotics. Being double fellowship trained, Dr. Behbehani can appropriately treat all surgical conditions, especially those that affect fertility such as endometriosis and fibroids.
