"It’s not just a bad period—it’s living with pain no one can see."

In this episode, we sit down with Alice, who shares her raw and honest journey with endometriosis—from navigating the emotional toll of a delayed diagnosis to undergoing surgery and challenging the one-size-fits-all approach to treatment.

Alice opens up about how endometriosis runs in her family, how COVID affected her menstrual cycle, and why the usual advice to "just go on hormonal contraception" doesn’t always cut it.

Expect candid conversations, personal insights, and a deeper understanding of how endo shows up differently for everyone.
