endokind
Hey, I’m Angie, an Australian registered counsellor specialising in endometriosis and women’s health, and I'm so glad you're here (yes, you!). While navigating my own journey with endo, it struck me just how needed – but almost non-existent – specialised mental health care is for our community. So I set out to change that! I trained as a counsellor and created endokind, my private counselling practice, and a space for awareness, advocacy and community building. Through this work, I've connected with so many incredible people all over the world. From healthcare and mental health professionals, to artists, advocates, academics and authors. I wanted to create this podcast to give you backstage access to this diverse range of people, their stories and their work, with each episode offering valuable content that’s designed to support, inspire and empower you. While we focus in on endometriosis, we also explore broader topics surrounding women's health, mental health, society, culture, art, the patriarchy, advocacy, and movement building. This podcast is about stories. It tells a story, and it’s made up of stories. Because storytelling creates connection. And I’m fully convinced that connection can change the world. Season One features 14 diverse and inspiring conversations, with a new episode dropping at the end of most weeks.
