She just wanted to be a woman. Endometriosis took that from her too.
This episode is not to be missed.
What does it feel like to sit at a dinner table, smile through unbearable pain, and excuse yourself to a bathroom where you fall apart — alone? What does it feel like to watch your own body reverse through puberty because the medication keeping you alive is stripping away everything that made you feel like yourself? What does it feel like to say, out loud, "I haven't felt like a woman in 30 years"?
In this trailer, Candice McKenzie says all of it. No filter. No poker face. Just the truth that millions of women living with endometriosis have never heard spoken so honestly out loud.
Candice is the founder of Endo Warriors West Lothian and has lived with endometriosis for over three decades. In the full episode, she takes us through 16 surgeries, a pelvic clearance, nine years on a cancer drug, two miracle pregnancies, and a healthcare system that only listened when a man made the call.
The full conversation is raw, necessary, and unlike anything you've heard on this condition before.
