    Ep. 12: When Period Pain Isn’t Just Period Pain

    Periodically Speaking, it's time to talk about Endometriosis. A condition that affects 1 in 10 people with uteruses, yet takes an average of seven to ten years to diagnose. From excruciating pain to medical gaslighting, we explore how this condition impacts mental health, relationships, and access to healthcare. It's believing and advocating for those who suffer in silence. Because pain is pain, and no one should have to fight to be heard.
