Yesterday, I hosted my second annual Endometriosis March, and I am beyond grateful to everyone who came out, supported, and donated—your support means the world. 💛

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women worldwide, yet it remains underfunded, under-discussed, and misunderstood. My journey started in eighth grade when I was told my crippling pain was just “bad period cramps.” It took years of pushing through pain, countless dismissals, and a brutal surgery to finally get diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis. This disease impacts every aspect of life—careers, relationships, and self-worth—but it doesn’t define me. It drives me.

I share my story to show women and girls everywhere that you can live a life full of possibility, even with endo. I call it “normal-ish.” I work a full-time corporate career, own a business, and even went on reality TV. You can do anything—it just comes with good days and bad days. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Endo made me who I am today, and I am stronger for it.

We need open, honest conversations about endometriosis. We need research, funding, and understanding. We need to empower women to demand answers.

Together, we’ll continue to spread awareness and make a difference. 💛 #EndometriosisAwareness #1in10 #EndoWarrior
