Hey LTP fam and welcome back for another ep, this is a pretty special one to me! 

Today’s episode is with my sister, Angelica! Angelica is an adenomyosis advocate and registered nurse, who is passionate about educating and supporting others living with endo, adeno or pcos. She was diagnosed with adeno in 2020 at 19 years old, after experiencing heavy bleeding, pelvic pain and fatigue since her early teens.

We chat on: 

• Gel's experience with getting her first period and funny period stories
• When she started to notice that things weren't quite right, and her journey to diagnosis with adenomyosis 
• How she's managing now since her diagnosis in 2020
