Endometriosis isn’t a bad period. It’s a misunderstood epidemic. It’s a systemic inflammatory disease that can affect the pelvis, diaphragm, bladder, lungs, and more. Too often, it’s dismissed as “normal pain.” It’s not. The more we recognize its complexity, the sooner women can receive the life-changing care they deserve.

For many with endometriosis, this is reality. Sick days run out, career opportunities pass by, and coworkers misunderstand.

What workplaces need: flexibility, empathy, and awareness. Because no one should have to choose between their health and their livelihood.

A mammogram isn’t just a test, it’s time invested in your future. For many, it’s uncomfortable or even scary, but it’s also one of the most effective tools we have for early detection.

When caught early, breast cancer survival rates soar. Waiting, worrying, or ignoring doesn’t change the outcome, action does.

Menopause is more than hot flashes and night sweats. It can bring:

Sleep disruption
Mood shifts
Brain fog
Changes in heart and bone health

What helps most?

Connection with others walking the same path.

Let’s normalize the conversation and push for better education, research, and compassionate care for women everywhere.

Fibroids and Endo: Both conditions can cause pelvic pain and heavy bleeding, but they’re not the same thing.

Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus.
Endometriosis is tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus.
The overlap in symptoms often causes confusion, but diagnosis is all about pattern, history, and imaging.

Ultrasound or MRI for fibroids
Pelvic pain mapping + menstrual history for endo.

Sometimes, both can also occur together.

Why it matters:
Treatment looks very different.
Fibroids may be treated with removal or uterus-sparing surgery, while endo often requires excision surgery or long-term medical management.

Knowledge = options. The more you understand, the more control you have over your care.
