LBH - Let’s Be Honest!

My first solo ramblings podcast reveals a lot more about my thoracic endometriosis journey, my surgeries and my periods! 

I started my period at 11 and have always had severe period pains, faints and heavy bleeding. 

All throughout my life I have been active and worked out. It was only in the past 11 years I noticed pain in my shoulder, chest pain, breathlessness and I presumed it was the muscle pain from exercise. 

In 2018 my health took a turn for the worst. I went from what I thought was fit, healthy and well to A&E, collapsed lungs and several surgeries. 

I am speaking out to bring awareness to invisible illnesses and the warriors that carry them strong 💪

This is me LBH (Let’s be honest) but... who am I?! 

I am Lindsay my friends and colleagues call me LBH (my initials). In 2016 a colleague and I were talking about our initials and he said to me... what about Let’s Be Honest as you’re upfront and you say things as they are?! At this stage I had been called LBH since around 2010 and hadn’t really thought about it too much. I liked it though.... 

So who is LBH? Apart from being open and honest? I am a 5ft 1, blonde, female, with a kind heart and a whole load of sass 💁🏼‍♀️ I love going on new adventures and spend my life learning from others, wanting to understand their stories and journeys. I work in finance as my day job and have a side hustle as an interior designer (my creative alter ego).  I am creative yet logical and methodical (what a mix). 

I was diagnosed with thoracic/diaphragmatic endometriosis back in 2018 by pure luck. I had been taken into A&E with a full lung collapse which led to my first of 3 lung surgeries. 6 surgeries under my belt and I have been sharing my story to spread awareness so that others don't have to suffer. It hasn't always been easy but I am a fighter 💪 

I know we all have it in us to turn our lives around. To choose to not let things define us. I’m not saying it’s easy, not at all... it’s taken me 4 years to start building up the tools, the skill set and the headspace to do so. I am continually learning and wanted to create this space to give others a platform to share their voice. 

I can honestly say it’s worth the time and effort to live my life and keep that sparkle! Please come along on my journey, follow my footprints 👣 and those of my guests! 

Thank you 

LBH 💛
