EP143 - My Endometriosis Journey


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive into a deeply personal and important topic—endometriosis. As someone who has lived with it since my teenage years, I share my own journey, the struggles, and what I’ve learned along the way. March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to shed light on this often misunderstood condition. I discuss the symptoms, misconceptions, and why awareness is crucial. I also explore the broader impact it has on women's health and quality of life. If you or someone you know has endometriosis, this episode is here to provide insight, support, and empowerment. You're not alone in this.

  4. Pain is not normal—period pain that disrupts life should be investigated.
  5. Support and advocacy matter—speaking up helps drive better treatment and research.
  6. Notable Quotes:
    1. "Endometriosis is more than just bad period pain—it affects every part of life."

    4. "The more awareness we create, the closer we get to better treatments and support."
    5. "Your pain is valid. You deserve to be heard and taken seriously."
