    Control Was a Cute Idea. Finding Control Of Our Own Body With Guest Dala McDevitt | EP09

    Sometimes pushing through stops working. This episode of Endo Warriors is for anyone who has been told their symptoms are “normal” while knowing something isn’t right. Callie Greenberg sits down with Dala McDevitt, CEO of DLDNation Team, to talk about burnout, delayed diagnosis, and the long road to answers around endometriosis. From working in healthcare to IVF and eventually receiving an endometriosis diagnosis, Dala shares how years of ignoring warning signs caught up with her.   They talk candidly about medical gaslighting, infertility without a neat resolution, and the self-doubt that builds when endometriosis goes undiagnosed for years. This conversation reframes strength as paying attention, setting boundaries, and taking care of yourself, and it will resonate with anyone who has learned the hard way that endurance is not the same thing as health.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Welcome To Endo Warriors And Today’s Conversation 01:20 Healthcare Burnout And Learning To Ignore Your Body 05:35 When Pushing Through Stops Working And Chronic Symptoms Begin 08:59 Infertility And The Delayed Diagnosis Of Endometriosis 11:19 Lupron Menopause Effects And The First Clear Endometriosis Clue 14:43 Medical Gaslighting And How To Advocate For Endometriosis Care 20:15 Endo Belly Painful Sex And Postpartum Self Doubt 22:56 Redefining Health And Movement With Chronic Illness 26:50 Infertility Without A Polished Ending And The Shame No One Talks About 36:46 Building DLDNation Team And A More Sustainable Definition Of Health Connect with Callie Greenberg: Visit the Own My Endo website Follow Endo Warriors on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

    Living with Endometriosis: Struggles, Community, and Finding Purpose With Guest Pam Bove | EP08

    When endometriosis takes years from your life, connection stops being optional and starts becoming a lifeline.   In this episode of the Endo Warriors, host Callie Greenberg sits down with endometriosis advocate Pam Bove to explore the long-term impact of having pain repeatedly dismissed. Pam shares how being told she was “just sensitive” did more than delay a diagnosis. It created lasting trauma that slowly eroded her trust in her own body and reshaped her confidence, relationships, and sense of identity.   This conversation goes beyond symptoms and into the emotional reality of living with endometriosis and chronic illness. Callie and Pam discuss how medical dismissal can isolate patients from peers and expected life paths, and why community becomes essential when your experience is constantly questioned. They reflect on the grief of missed milestones, the anger that follows delayed diagnosis, and the relief that comes from finally being believed without explanation.   If you have ever felt alone in your pain or wondered whether you are overreacting, this episode offers clarity and validation. Through shared stories and lived experience, Pam and Callie show how personal trauma can turn into collective strength, and why real healing for many endometriosis warriors begins with connection and community.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Endo Warriors Podcast: Endometriosis, Women’s Health, and Chronic Illness 01:10 Why Connection and Community Are Essential for Endometriosis Healing 03:18 Early Endometriosis Symptoms and Being Dismissed as a Teen 07:05 Medical Gaslighting and the Double Standard in Women’s Pain 11:16 How Chronic Pelvic Pain Impacts Social Life and Mental Health 17:40 Birth Control, Blood Clots, and a Life-Threatening Diagnosis 24:10 Finally Being Diagnosed With Endometriosis and Learning It Is Systemic 31:33 When “Normal” MRIs Miss Endometriosis and Delay Treatment 35:10 Turning Medical Trauma Into Advocacy, Purpose, and Change 38:00 Finding Strength Through Endometriosis Community and Shared Experience Connect with Callie Greenberg: Visit the Own My Endo website Follow Endo Warriors on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

    Cut The Crap With Guest Nicole Notar | EP07

    Excision surgery often sits just out of reach in endometriosis care, and Nicole Notar explains why. Insurance barriers, outdated coding, and persistent misconceptions turn a medically necessary procedure into something patients must fight for or fund themselves. Who pays the price when effective care is delayed?   Callie Greenberg talks with Nicole about years of being dismissed with labels like anxiety and IBS before real answers finally came. After exhausting in-network options, Nicole paid out of pocket for excision surgery and discovered widespread disease across multiple organs. That moment confirmed what had long been overlooked and exposed how access to care too often depends on persistence and finances rather than medical need.   Out of that experience, Nicole founded Endo Excision For All, a nonprofit focused on helping patients access excision surgery now while pushing for policy change around insurance, reimbursement, and disability recognition. The episode also breaks down the hidden financial realities of endometriosis care and offers practical guidance for navigating billing and coverage. Real progress will require systems that treat endometriosis as the complex, full-body disease it is.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Endo Warriors Intro: Endometriosis And Women’s Health 00:45 Nicole Notar And The Endo Excision For All Nonprofit 01:38 Endometriosis Misdiagnosis: IBS, Anxiety, And Dismissed Pain 10:18 Choosing Excision Surgery After Insurance Denial 12:06 Excision Surgery Findings: Endometriosis Across Multiple Organs 16:41 Why Excision Surgery Is Expensive: Insurance And Coding Barriers 18:41 Policy Change For Endometriosis: ADA, FMLA, And Disability Access 19:59 Excision Surgery Vs Ablation: What Patients Need To Know 39:48 Surgery Billing Reality: Surprise Costs And Insurance Gaps 50:20 Endometriosis Advocacy: Capitol Hill Day And How To Get Involved Connect with Callie Greenberg: Visit the Own My Endo website Follow Endo Warriors on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
