Episode notes

What if the pain you thought was “normal” was actually your body telling you something was wrong? For years, I experienced painful periods and never thought twice about it—until one ER visit that changed everything. After surgery, I was diagnosed with Stage IV endometriosis and told it could impact my fertility. In this episode, I’m sharing my journey from painful periods and a life-changing diagnosis to wrestling with God, finding purpose in my pain, and learning why advocating for your health matters. If you’ve ever been told, “that’s just part of being a woman,” this episode is for you.
