Raya Reaves hit her financial rock bottom while living in Los Angeles. She came home one day to discover a letter taped to her door, "Pay your rent or you're out."

She knew she needed to make some tough financial changes, but she was able to build up an emergency fund, pay off her debts, and finally start saving for the future.

Since she was able to figure out her finances, she realized that a lot of other women probably needed her help too, she decided to start her company, City Girl Savings to help others get to their money in order.

She's now helped thousands of women build budgets, get out of debt, and create plans for their future goals. Raya joins us on the podcast this week to talk all things money and what you should be doing first if you need some financial help.

This week on the podcast we’re talking all about endometriosis - what it is, how to go about finding out if you have endo, and we’re talking to Larissa Kutny, an osteopath who has endometriosis herself.

Endometriosis is a painful disorder where tissue similar to the tissue that is normally found in your uterus grows on the outside of your uterus. 

In the same way that the tissue in your uterus will thicken, break down, and bleed during each period, the tissue will do the same on the outside of your fallopian tubes or ovaries (wherever this tissue is growing), but since there’s no way for the broke down tissue to exit your body- the blood becomes trapped and thus results in sever pelvic pain during menstruation.

Researchers believe that endo affects about 11% of women and menstruators - it’s characterized by painful periods that extends before and after your period, there’s more bleeding than usual with heavy periods or even bleeding between periods, pain during sex, and pain when you go to the bathroom.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms go to the doctor and ask them about endometriosis, and Larissa, our guest on the podcast has a couple of questions that you can ask your doctor - she explains how she was diagnosed and also how long it took to get the diagnosis.
