Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

In this episode of The Chronic Chronicles, we're joined by Megan, an inspiring nurse living with both endometriosis & Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (HEDS). Megan shares what it's like to live in a body that often feels like it's working against her, all while juggling the physical & emotional demands of a high-stress career in healthcare.

We talk about the realities of navigating flare-ups at work, advocating for yourself in the medical system as both a patient and a provider, and finding moments of rest and validation when the world expects you to push through.

Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

After a powerful month of endometriosis stories, I'm back with a solo episode looking into the hormonal side of endo: what's happening behind the scenes, why symptoms can persist even after surgery, how endo intersects with other hormonal & autoimmune conditions like PCOS & thyroid disorders.

PLUS, I'm sharing a few life updates, some of my favorite things from March, and new habits I'm trying in April!

Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

In this episode of The Chronic Chronicles, we chat with Clarabelle to discuss her personal journey with endometriosis. Just two weeks post-excision surgery, she shares what recovery has been like and how it compares to the years of uncertainty she faced before getting a diagnosis. We dive into the emotional and physical toll that chronic illness takes, including the frustration of feeling unheard and the strength it takes to keep advocating for proper care.

Beyond her medical journey, we also explore the impact of challenging family dynamics—how relationships can shift when living with a chronic illness and the complexities of seeking support from loved ones who may not fully understand. Through it all, Clarabelle has found moments of hope and empowerment that are vital to her healing journey

Welcome to The Chronic Chronicles, I'm SO happy that you're here!

Living with endometriosis is more than just physical pain—it's navigating a healthcare system that often dismisses you, the mental exhaustion of trial-and-error treatments, and the emotional toll of always being sick. In this episode of The Chronic Chronicles, I sit down with Emma, the founder of Cordella, to talk about her journey with endometriosis, the anxiety that comes with advocating for care, and the hope she's found along the way. We get real about the struggles of chronic illness, the frustration of feeling unheard, and the small but powerful ways we can reclaim control over our health. Whether you're deep in the trenches of your own endo journey or searching for a little hope, this episode is for you.

Tune in, and let's navigate this together <3
