Why I’m doing this

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how different my experience with IC and endometriosis would have been if I had seen more honest and encouraging stories from women who actually understood what this felt like.

At one point, my symptoms were so bad that I genuinely didn’t think I was going to make it through it, and one of the hardest parts was feeling completely alone in it.

So now, I decided to ditch my job and started school to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner specifically for women with IC and Endo. I know how many women are silently carrying this kind of pain and don’t feel seen or understood.

What I’m collecting
I’m starting to collect real stories and reflections from women with IC, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, or related experiences, especially things like:
- what you wish you had known earlier
- what helped you emotionally
- what you’d say to someone currently struggling

I am doing this to create a community collection of stories and to help spread awareness for what we all go through. Stories can be anonymous or shared with a first name.
