15. ENDOMETRIOSIS; GETTING DIAGNOSED with Lucy (part 1)

Uncensored Wellness

Endometriosis is estimated to impact 1 in 10 people with uteruses. So let's talk about it...

For this juicy two-part episode, I have my incredible friend Lucy with me to talk about her experience with endometriosis. This episode is a valuable listen for anyone who has been diagnosed with endometriosis, as well as for anyone who wants to learn more about it so that they can better support those in their life who suffer from endo.

Painful periods are not the norm. And yet, it can take years of expensive doctors appointments and invalidation to receive an endometriosis diagnosis.

That's why Lucy and I spend part 1 of this discussion chatting about...

• What endometriosis is and what the different stages of endo mean
• Lucy's challenging process of receiving an endo diagnosis
• The presence of invalidation, self-advocation and privilege within this process
• The journey of coming to terms with this diagnosis
