Since leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2016, Yolanda has kept much of her focus on her health, navigating her Lyme disease diagnosis with children Bella and Anwar. And the trio have been candid about their health journey, making it their mission to educate the public about the tick-borne illness.

“I always say that we have to turn our mess into a message,” Yolanda told Vogue in 2021. “We’re both convinced that we shouldn’t just use our platforms to post selfies. We also try to use them as amplifiers to give a voice to those who can’t be heard.”

She added, “By sharing the more uncomfortable parts of our lives, we have the power to raise awareness.”

Yolanda has also found that living with Lyme has taught her “patience and dedication.”

“My ‘new normal’ is much slower and more in tune with who I am,” she shared. “I’ve also learned to love my authentic self with all my imperfections.”
