We’ve been told that period pain is just “part of being a woman.” That you’re supposed to grit your teeth, pop a pill, and keep going. But what if the pain is actually your body waving a red flag?

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it’s actually like living with fibroid pain—the kind that knocks you off your feet and makes everyday life feel impossible. I share my own stories, why long-term use of painkillers like ibuprofen can do more harm than good, and how I finally learned to listen to my body instead of silencing it.

If you’ve ever rocked back and forth in pain, called in sick with a lie, or been told to “just take something and come in anyway,” this episode is for you.

🎧 Tap play to reclaim your body, your boundaries, and your right to rest.
