Endometriosis Awareness is something very close to my heart.
I was first diagnosed with endometriosis at 18, again at 28, and most recently at the end of 2025. It has been a long and evolving journey.
When I was first diagnosed in 1998, there was far less research and understanding than there is today. And while awareness has grown, many women are still navigating delays in diagnosis, dismissal of symptoms, and being told that their pain is “normal” or “just part of being a woman.”
Endometriosis can impact so much more than the physical body. It can affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity, work, and our sense of connection to ourselves. For many, it can feel isolating or misunderstood.
By continuing to raise awareness about the symptoms: severe pelvic pain, fatigue, infertility’s heavy menstrual periods etc, raise awareness about the lived experience, and the layered impact of this condition, we help create more informed, compassionate communities.
Education fosters understanding, and understanding creates better support systems for those walking this path.
If you are navigating your own endometriosis journey and feel you would benefit from additional support, please know you do not have to do it alone. You are warmly invited to reach out, or to join our weekly The Womb Space community gathering, a space for connection, shared experience, and gentle support.
You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be seen. You deserve to be believed. And you deserve care along the way.
