"Endometriosis cannot be cured and it cannot be prevented. It's not your fault & don't let anyone make you think otherwise."In the month of March we celebrate International Women's Day, and  on today's episode, I chat with Nicole Flanagan, who is using her platform to engage with people about her experiences dealing with the debilitating & chronic condition, Endometriosis, to coincide with Endometriosis Awareness Month. **Trigger Warning:  there are in depth discussions about issues of mental health.**Nicole & I talk about how endometriosis has affected her life mental and physically; what  chocolate cysts are; the difference between endometriosis and adenomyosis; painful periods and infertility.  Nicole also shares her experiences with medical practitioners & her numerous surgeries to alleviate her pain. We also discuss her plans to create more of an awareness about endo amoung youngsters and teenagers. Nicole and I also celebrate her victories during these trying times.  She also shares with me her deep love for all things Harry Potter, writing, lipstick  and villains.  And of course, Nicole talks about the quote that continually inspires her.If you would like to chat to Nicole, you can dm her via instagram.   You can also check her tumblr page here.Endometriosis is a condition that affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age within the UK.
