Why are we still being taught to ignore our own pain? Talking to Chelsea Leyland, Founder of Looni, made it painfully clear—women’s health has been sidelined for far too long. Endometriosis is as common as diabetes, yet it’s under-researched, misdiagnosed, and dismissed. We’ve been conditioned to believe suffering is just part of the deal. Chelsea is flipping that narrative with Looni, not just by offering real solutions but by building a community where people can finally speak up and be heard. And her epilepsy advocacy? A masterclass in fighting for change. She took control of her own health, found what worked, and is now battling to give others the same access. This is what happens when women refuse to accept the status quo—we push, we demand, and we make change.


Key Takeaways: 

  • Menstrual health advocacy isn’t just important—it’s a revolution, giving people the power to understand and take control of their own bodies.

  • Endometriosis is an autoimmune nightmare affecting 1 in 10 women, yet it takes a staggering 10 years on average to get diagnosed.

  • The shame and stigma around menstruation don’t just silence conversations—they delay diagnoses, worsen treatment, and keep people suffering in the dark.

  • Breaking myths and pushing for education can be life-changing, turning awareness into early intervention for both menstrual health and epilepsy.

  • No one should have to battle conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, or infertility alone—community support isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
