Hey, legends!

Today on the show, we bring you the formidable Kylie Brown. Kylie is in the public eye, partly, because her husband Jonathan Brown is a well-known former AFL star and radio personality. But it’s what Kylie has managed to do with her profile and platform that has blown us away. After struggling with chronic endometriosis for two decades, and undergoing no less than nine surgeries - including a hysterectomy at 34 - to manage her condition, Kylie opened an Instagram account to track her journey and spread awareness about endo.

In this chat, we talk about Kylie’s battle with her body so far, and why she decided to run a marathon when the odds were well and truly stacked against her.

For more from Kylie, follow her on Instagram at @endo.runner. If you enjoyed this episode, we recommend you check out our chat with fellow endo warrior Bridget Hustwaite.
