Often overshadowed by the more well-known endometriosis, adenomyosis is a condition that brings a double dose of trouble to its sufferers. They face not only the usual dismissal and underestimation of their pain but also a higher rate of misdiagnosis.

Given the lack of awareness and education around it, you might think adenomyosis is rare. However, it affects about 1 in 5 women. So why is it so poorly understood? The answer lies in insufficient education and a lack of research on the subject.

This is why I sat down with Anna, who has been navigating this condition since her teens and is now witnessing her daughter endure the same symptoms. In our conversation, Anna candidly shares the challenging journey to get a diagnosis and her hopes for the future—that her daughter won't have to experience the same painful path.

Today, we're bringing you an incredible story that will leave you speechless.

Throughout her pregnancy, Caitlin experienced puzzling symptoms, only to be brushed off by medical professionals. Despite this, she welcomed her beautiful baby into the world. However, the symptoms persisted, and after a trip to Hawaii, they became increasingly alarming. Caitlin eventually found herself in the hospital, where doctors made a shocking discovery: a tumour the size of a grapefruit wrapped around her ovary.

But this discovery is just the beginning of Caitlin's health journey. Despite facing dismissal and enduring debilitating symptoms and pain, she has relentlessly advocated for her body. Her story serves as a powerful reminder to listen to your body, speak up for yourself, and advocate for your health. After all, no one knows your body better than you do.

Today I am joined by Community Ambassador for National Breast Cancer Foundation, Colette Chase. Colette was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of triple negative breast cancer.

Her story begins when on holiday the previous month, she felt a small lump, and her worst fears were confirmed on her return home. Being a mother of two girls, an avid runner, fit and healthy with a very clean lifestyle, the news was a massive shock. Six months of debilitating treatment commenced immediately. Chemotherapy, surgery, radiation.

As a Community Ambassador for NBCF, Colette hopes to share her story to create meaningful awareness about this condition. Colette’s whirlwind journey is a story of strength, resilience and hope.

Today's episode is a special one as we sit down with the vibrant Casey Burgess. Casey, a established actress, musician, television presenter, and ambassador for Endometriosis Australia. Throughout our chat, Casey bravely shares her personal journey with endometriosis, recounting the moment she first encountered this condition and how she manages its symptoms.

Endometriosis, a prevalent ailment affecting nearly 1 million Australian women and girls, often manifests in teenagers. Due to the varying nature of its symptoms, diagnosis can be delayed by up to 6.5 years for many women. Through our podcast, we aim to shed light on this condition, as no woman should endure it silently.
