Endometriosis & Me w/ Michaela Abenson

This week my guest is one of the strongest people I’ve had the good fortune to meet - Michaela Abenson. Michaela suffers from a condition called endometriosis, that despite affecting 1 in 10 women in the UK and costs the UK economy roughly £8.2billion a year, is rarely discussed openly and there is no known cure. Since suffering from endometriosis as a 12 year old and only getting diagnosed at 18, her life has been fraught with agonising pain, fertility issues and multiple surgeries, one of which she’ll have had in between recording and releasing this conversation. We recorded this quite a few weeks ago, in person at a distance from one another, and it’s a heartfelt conversation that I hope you’ll find enlightening and inspiring. -- Michaela's social media can be found here: Facebook - facebook.com/PrettyInPain2/ Instagram - instagram.com/pretty.in_pain/ You can find more information about Endometriosis UK at endometriosis-uk.org and the Jewish fertility charity Kivisi at kivisi.com. -- This episode is sponsored by Northern Powerhouse Media.
