In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Mim shares her raw and unfiltered endometriosis journey, from her first symptoms at 14 to multiple surgeries, misdiagnoses, and the emotional toll of living with a chronic illness. She opens up about hospital visits that were brushed off as “just bad periods,” the heartbreak of fertility challenges, and the resilience it’s taken to keep pushing for answers.

Mim also reflects on the systemic gaps in women’s healthcare, the financial burden of treatment, the toll on her mental health, and what it means to advocate for yourself when no one else is listening. It’s honest, it’s emotional, and it’s a must-listen for anyone navigating endo or supporting someone who is.

Through the process of advocating for ourselves — pushing for answers, navigating confusion, and eventually undergoing surgery just to receive a diagnosis — we’ve felt it all.

Join us on our journey as we interview real people with real stories, experts in their field and how they can enhance your quality of life on your endometriosis journey.
