Country music star Jessie James Decker is championing self-advocacy for women, especially regarding their health. She advises against the common tendency for women to 'power through' difficulties, particularly painful conditions like migraines, which she has experienced since middle school.
Decker, who has partnered with AbbVie for the Love In Mind campaign, emphasizes that speaking up for oneself is a sign of strength, not weakness. She shared that even during intense migraine episodes while on tour, she felt compelled to continue performing, a practice she now advises against.
Her husband, Eric Decker, played a crucial role in her journey toward addressing her health. Decker noted that his attentiveness to 'signals' and his support system were instrumental in helping her identify and manage her condition. She encourages everyone to communicate their needs to those around them.
The couple, celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary this month, has a strong partnership. Jessie describes Eric as her best friend and the reason for their shared success, emphasizing their aligned perspectives on life.
