Felicia works in marketing full time, has an online business focusing on sustainability education, has a podcast which aims to challenge people to think differently about their lives and our society and coaches women to design their dream lives – phew!

I know, there’s a lot there but today specifically, we will be discussing what it means to create a so called “dream life” and as well as that – how to spot the signs of burnout, and are these things known to be linked?

Did you know that 1 in 10 woman are affected by endometriosis during their reproductive years? That is such a high number, this is why we need to be raising awareness of the issue as well as educating one another on how endo can affect the body. Not only can endo cause a lot of pain – it can cause so many other symptoms as well as we will discuss later on.

In honour of endometriosis awareness month in March we will be speaking to Lara Ritson to speak about her journey with endometriosis or endo for short. If that last name sounds familiar it’s because Lara is my older sister. So yes, we have both been on quite the rollercoaster with our physical and mental health through the years! I’m happy to say though that we are both still here and ready to share our journeys in order to help others.

You can find more about Lara's company here.
