What happens when motherhood and chronic illness collide, and how do we turn that into advocacy?

We explore the hard edges of parenting with endometriosis—pregnancy losses, grief, guilt, and the small wins that keep us going—and how those experiences drove us into advocacy that meets medicine where it starts: in classrooms. Along the way we talk kids’ questions, self‑grace, and building real community support.

• balancing parenting with chronic pain and fatigue
• pregnancy, miscarriage, and fear of recurrence
• children witnessing pain and asking about risk
• guilt, comparison, and redefining “good mom”
• individualized disease, individualized care
• post‑op healing, pacing, and self‑grace
• teaching kids to self‑advocate with doctors
• educating medical students to spot endo earlier
• outdated research vs evidence‑based care
• community support through Endofriend and campus outreach
• many paths to advocacy, from letters to events
