The Only Endometriosis Podcast You Need

In this episode, we’ll explore why practicing gratitude isn’t just a feel-good activity—it’s a powerful tool for improving overall wellbeing, managing symptoms, and transforming how we experience daily life. Backed by science, gratitude has been shown to enhance mental health, reduce physical symptoms, and improve resilience in the face of challenges. It also forms a huge part of pain management, as well as helping to reduce inflammation and fatigue.

We’ll dive into the statistics that highlight its impact, explain why it works, and share simple ways to incorporate gratitude into your routine. Whether you’re dealing with chronic health conditions, stress, or just want to feel more joy, this episode will help you harness the life-changing benefits of gratitude

In this episode, we dive into why so many women find it hard to build self-care into their daily lives, even though we all know how important it is. We’ll explore how cultural expectations, packed schedules, and the myth that self-care has to be elaborate often hold us back from taking those moments we need. We’ll talk about how perfectionism and a “busy mode” mindset can make even small acts of self-care feel like luxuries instead of essentials. And we’ll reframe self-care, sharing tips on how to integrate meaningful, guilt-free moments into everyday life without adding to the to-do list. Whether it’s a 5-minute ritual or a mindset shift, this episode will remind you that self-care is possible—even with a busy life.

We are not given enough choices early enough when it comes to our menstrual health - often by the time we need to make a decision (surgery? HRT? IVF?) we’re at breaking point. We’re in panic mode and just want the quickest route to where we feel we need to be at that time. In this podcast, Sarah talks us through the importance of making the decisions that are right for you, how best to do that, and how to stick to the decisions we make (and why).

Many endometriosis sufferers are only offered conventional treatments like hormone therapy or surgery. But what about addressing the whole body and finding sustainable relief? I’ll talk about the limitations of traditional treatments, the benefits of integrating complementary therapies, and how I guide clients toward natural approaches that work in tandem with conventional options for long-lasting results.

In this episode of The Only Endometriosis Podcast You Need, we’re diving into the power of rest as a crucial part of our healing journey. Rest isn’t just about getting a good night’s sleep – it’s about giving our bodies, minds, and hearts the downtime they need to recover, refresh, and truly thrive.

If you’ve ever felt guilty about slowing down or struggled with the pressure to keep going, this episode is for you. We’ll chat about common myths around rest, the surprising productivity and creativity benefits that come from regular breaks, and simple ways to incorporate more rest into your daily life. By the end, you’ll be ready to embrace rest as a vital, nourishing part of self-care – because a well-rested you is a stronger, healthier you.

So, grab a cup of tea, get cosy, and let’s explore how rest truly fuels our ability to heal and live well!

In this episode, Sarah explores the delicate art of having difficult conversations about endometriosis and other health struggles. It’s not easy to talk about the pain, frustration, and emotional weight that come with chronic conditions, especially when we don’t talk about about healthy periods and some of the impact of endo is incredibly personal. We often avoid telling people how it’s all impacting you because the conversations are just too difficult; be that your line manager because you are struggling at work, your partner because you’re not enjoying intimacy as much as you were, or your friends because you feel like you’re cancelling your Mates Dates more than you want to. But holding onto these feelings can worsen both your mental and physical wellbeing as well as your symptoms themselves.

Drawing from personal experiences and the principles of the Eastern medicine techniques she uses, Sarah discusses the importance of releasing emotions and of sharing your story. Plus, you’ll get practical tips for opening up to those you find it hardest to talk to, and how to start a conversation that can lighten your emotional load and help you find support.

In this episode, Sarah explores the gentle transition into autumn through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Learn how this seasonal shift affects your body, mind, and emotions, especially if you’re managing conditions like endometriosis or you’re trying to have a happy menopause transition. Discover how autumn's energy encourages us to slow down, reflect, and nurture our health. She shares tips on supporting lung health—both physically and emotionally—and simple self-care practices to help you realign with the season’s rhythmns. From mindful activities to seasonal foods, find out how to harness autumn’s reflective energy for greater balance and wellbeing.

In this podcast, Sarah talks about the importance of resilience when it comes to managing your symptoms. She talks through what resilience is, how to tell if you've got it, how to get it and why you need it.
