Meet Jess Packman, hair enthusiast and stylist at JetBlack Hair Studio, who also happens to no longer suffer wildly every month since having a hysterectomy! Nadine and Jess, like many people who happen to have uteruses, have had a complicated relationship with them and hopped on the podcast to talk about their decisions to have them removed due to severe endometriosis and adenomyosis. Listen in as both women share their own personal stories, which are very different from each other but so similar to many folks out there. The journey to a hysterectomy is not an easy one - and women's health care is confusing AT BEST. In discussing their individual experiences through pain, misdiagnosis, ineffective treatments and the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive, Nadine and Jess hope that their years of agony and systemic healthcare struggles will add to the important conversation that highlights the power of understanding female reproductive health issues, advocating for oneself, and finding compassionate medical care.
