Women deserve to be seen, heard, supported, and believed

Welcome, I’m sooo Glad You're Here!

My mission is to turn pain into purpose — by sharing my story and helping others feel seen, understood, and equipped to advocate for themselves.

Endometriosis impacts millions. Why are so few talking about it? What if girls and women were believed the first time they spoke up? Living with endometriosis shouldn’t mean suffering in silence. Endometriosis is complex — but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Hey, I'm Callie!

Healthcare insider, endo survivor and your loudest hype woman when it comes to owning your body and your story.

For almost two decades, I worked inside the healthcare system — and that same system dismissed, gaslit, and failed me. I started having brutal pain at 13 and spent 24years being told it was “just bad cramps,” “in my head,” or “part of being a woman.” (Spoiler: it wasn’t.)

At 37, I finally got a medical diagnosis: stage 4/5 advanced Endometriosis. After surgery to clear out tissue and masses that had invaded my uterus, ovaries, tubes, and bladder, I thought the worst was over. But endo had other plans. I went through multiple failed IVF rounds due to the disease affecting my egg quality and just 18 months after my initial surgery, the pain and the masses returned. — at 39, I had no choice but to have a total hysterectomy.

Endometriosis stole my chance to carry a child. I went through my entire teenage and early adult life having no idea what endometriosis was or the impact it can have on infertility and your physical and mental health. Are you angry at reading this? GOOD you should be. Symptoms that should have been investigated deeper by doctors when I first got my period could have changed my life. My story is one shared by millions of women all over the world and it is unacceptable. What happened to me shouldn’t keep happening to anyone else.

This is why I started Own My Endo

Endometriosis deserves better awareness. And so do you

Why I Created Own My Endo

Women deserve to be seen, heard, supported, and believed.

Knowledge is power — especially when it comes to your body.

Advocacy starts young. When we teach our daughters (and sons) about menstrual health, we change the future of women’s healthcare.

Today, I’m an advocate,coach, speaker, and host of the “Endo Warriors” podcast. I'm on a mission to bring awareness, educate, empower, and support young menstruators and their parents about endometriosis. Early education leads to earlier diagnosis and early diagnosis saves young women's futures.
