In this episode of The Endo Files, I’m joined by my best friend, Heidi, to talk about what it really looks like to navigate life with endometriosis alongside someone who truly understands it. After both being diagnosed around the same time, we’ve experienced this journey not only individually, but together. We share our experiences before diagnosis — the symptoms we normalized, the pain we brushed off, and the frustration of not being heard. Through our conversation, we reflect on how those early experiences shaped the way we view our bodies, our health, and the medical system. This episode also dives into the emotional side of endometriosis — the parts people don’t always see. From chronic fatigue and brain fog to the grief of losing the version of yourself that didn’t have to plan life around pain, we open up about how deeply this condition impacts everyday life. Together, we talk about how endometriosis has affected our friendship, the importance of having someone who understands without explanation, and how we each manage balancing work, responsibilities, and our health. Listeners can expect an honest and vulnerable conversation about living with endometriosis, the power of shared experience, and the comfort that comes from not going through it alone.
