I'm not a doctor. I am not a researcher. I am a woman who spent 24 years being failed by the system and decided to do something about it.
I started my period when I was 13. The pain was immediate, and it was brutal. I was put on birth control and sent home. That was the beginning of two and a half decades of being dismissed, minimized, and gaslit by the very doctors I trusted to help me.
I worked inside the healthcare system for 18 years. I knew how it worked. And it still happened to me.
At 37, I was finally diagnosed with stage 4/5 advanced endometriosis. I had excision surgery. I went through multiple rounds of IVF trying to start a family and fulfill my dream of being a mother. They all failed. The disease returned. At 39, I had an emergency total hysterectomy.
Endometriosis took that dream away from me.
What I know now is that earlier education, earlier conversations, and earlier advocacy could have changed the course of my life.
That is why Own My Endo exists!

This should not be happening to anyone else.
Women deserve to be seen, heard, supported, and believed.
Knowledge is the difference between a decade of suffering and an early diagnosis.
When we teach women what is normal and what is not, we change everything.

Today, I’m a medical advocate, consultant, keynote speaker, and host of the “Endo Warriors” podcast. I'm on a mission to help women realize that their voices have value. Pain can be turned into purpose.
