008: What’s it like living with endometriosis? with Georgia Martin

September 10, 2024 • Episode 8

In this episode, Julia interviews her 1:1 client Georgia, who has been diagnosed endometriosis since middle school. They discuss Georgia's journey with the condition, the impact it has had on her life, and how she manages it.

Endometriosis is a common - yet often misunderstood - condition, so this episode serves as a way to highlight what the experience has been like for one person, to hopefully give all listeners a deeper understanding of it - in the case they have family members, friends, or acquaintances who have experienced it.

They also touch on the importance of understanding and supporting those with endometriosis, as well as the need for better healthcare and conversations around period pain when it comes to women's health, which has historically been fairly neglected by scientific research.

The conversation highlights the need for early diagnosis, finding the right medical care, and the importance of self-care and stress management in managing the condition.
