In this deeply important and eye-opening conversation, we dive into the reality of endometriosis and menopause, two experiences that are often misunderstood on their own — and even more so when they overlap.

My guest Evelyn shares her powerful personal story of living with endometriosis, being told that a hysterectomy would “fix” her symptoms, and then discovering that not only did the pain continue, but she also had to face the sudden onset of menopausal symptoms she was never prepared for.

Together, we explore what endometriosis actually is, why it is so commonly dismissed, how it affects the entire body, and what happens when menopause enters the picture. This episode brings clarity, compassion, and practical support to anyone navigating endo, surgical menopause, or both.

If you’ve ever felt brushed aside, confused about your symptoms, or unsure where to turn next, this episode offers validation — and hope.

In This Episode We Discuss

• What endometriosis really is and why diagnosis takes so long

• The physical, emotional, and day-to-day impact endo has on women

• Why hysterectomies don’t cure endometriosis and why so many women aren’t told this

• How endometriosis symptoms can continue or worsen after surgery

• The layered challenge of facing both endo symptoms and sudden menopause symptoms

• The reality of surgical menopause and what women are rarely prepared for

• Practical tools and management strategies that can help with pain, fatigue, and hormonal changes

• The emotional toll of long-term pain, dismissal, and navigating the healthcare system

• What women should be asking when discussing treatment options with their doctors
