I wish someone told us earlier that “the pill” was never the full plan. Most of us weren’t actually “managed,” we were paused.
Paused symptoms, paused questions, paused answers. but not healed.
And then when everything flared again, we blamed ourselves.
We thought our bodies were the problem.
We thought we were doing something wrong.
We thought pain coming back meant we were “getting worse.”
But this is a load of bu****it, I know it and now you know it; your body never stopped asking for help.
It just didn’t get the kind of help it needed.
Endo, adeno, chronic pelvic pain, they don’t live in one organ. It lives in your fascia, your nerves, your pelvic floor, your diaphragm, your lymphatics, your immune system, your history, even your mind (not literally lesions on your brain (which fiy can happen)).
Birth control can change hormones, but it can’t unwind a lifetime of tension, trauma, inflammation, or mechanical load.
And none of us were told that.
Not once.
If you feel comfortable, I genuinely want to hear your experience:
Were you ever offered anything beyond birth control?
Did anyone ever explain why your pain kept coming back?
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not imagining it.
You’re not “difficult.”
You were under-treated 🖤🌸

Endometriosis: More Than Just Period Pain 💛
If you’ve been told “period pain is normal” but find yourself curled up in bed, missing work, or struggling with pain even outside your cycle, it’s time to look deeper. Endometriosis is real, and it’s more than just bad periods.

💡 What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis (Endo) occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing chronic inflammation, severe pain, and organ adhesions. It affects 1 in 9 women in Australia, yet it takes an average of 7–10 years to get diagnosed due to widespread misinformation.

Common Symptoms of Endometriosis:
Severe menstrual cramps – Pain that doesn’t ease with medication
Pelvic pain – Chronic, stabbing, or aching pain that isn’t limited to your period
Pain during in*******se – Deep, aching discomfort or sharp pain during/after s*x
Heavy menstrual bleeding – Clots, long cycles, or periods that last longer than 7 days
Urinary symptoms – Bladder pressure, frequent UTIs, or painful urination
Menstrual irregularities – Short, long, or unpredictable cycles
Gastrointestinal issues – Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea (often misdiagnosed as IBS)
Joint pain & fatigue – Widespread inflammation causing body aches and exhaustion

💡 Endometriosis doesn’t just affect your period—it can impact your gut, bladder, fertility, and overall quality of life.

Adenomyosis: The “Hidden” Condition Behind Severe Period Pain 💜
Ever been told “period pain is normal”—but deep down, you knew something wasn’t right? If your periods are extremely painful, heavy, and unpredictable, adenomyosis could be the missing piece. Especially if you've already been diagnosed with endometriosis.

What is Adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis (Adeno) is a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows deep into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing inflammation, intense cramping, and heavy bleeding. Unlike endometriosis (which occurs outside the uterus), adenomyosis happens within the uterine muscle itself.

It’s commonly misdiagnosed as fibroids or endometriosis, leaving many women struggling for years without answers. But your pain is real, and it deserves to be taken seriously.

Signs & Symptoms of Adenomyosis:
Severe menstrual cramps – Pain that feels like contractions & doesn’t ease with painkillers
Chronic pelvic pain – A deep, aching pain that lingers even outside your period
Pain during in*******se – A sharp or deep ache, often worse before your period
Heavy & prolonged menstrual bleeding – Periods lasting 7+ days, sometimes leading to anaemia
Urinary symptoms – Feeling like you constantly need to wee, or increased bladder pressure
Menstrual irregularities – Short cycles, long cycles, spotting, or unpredictable bleeding
Pelvic pressure & pain – A constant feeling of heaviness or fullness in the lower abdomen
Bloating (GI & pelvic) – AKA “Adeno belly,” where your stomach looks swollen

💜 What You Need to Know:
Adenomyosis is NOT “just bad periods.” If your symptoms disrupt your life, push for proper testing!
It often coexists with endometriosis – but they are different conditions.
You don’t need to suffer in silence. There are ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

😌 4-7-8 Breathing – A simple but effective way to lower stress hormones, improve sleep, and ease anxiety by extending the exhale.

🟩 Box Breathing – Used by Navy SEALs, this method enhances focus, nervous system regulation, and stress tolerance with a 4-second inhale, hold, exhale, and hold.

❄️ Wim Hof Breathing – A dynamic technique combining deep inhales and controlled retention, known to boost circulation, resilience, and immune function.

🫁 Buteyko Breathing – Focused on nasal breathing and CO₂ retention, this method optimises oxygenation, improves lung function, and balances energy levels.

🌌 Holotropic Breathwork – A deeper, meditative style of breathwork designed for emotional release, nervous system reset, and deep healing.

PCOS Symptoms: More Than Just Irregular Periods! 💛
Do you feel like your body is working against you? Struggling with weight gain, irregular periods, hair loss, or mood swings—but never getting clear answers? You’re not alone.

PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) affects 1 in 10 women, yet many go undiagnosed for years. It’s not just about ovarian cysts (many women with PCOS don’t have them!)—it’s a whole-body hormonal imbalance that can impact:

🔥 Metabolism & Weight – Insulin resistance makes it harder to lose weight, even when eating well.
🌸 Cycles & Fertility – Irregular or missing ovulation can make conception difficult.
🧠 Mood & Mental Health – Anxiety and depression are common, often due to hormone fluctuations.
💇‍♀️ Hair & Skin – Thinning hair, acne, skin tags, and excess facial or body hair (hirsutism) are key signs.

🚨 8 Common Symptoms of PCOS:
✔ Irregular or missing periods
✔ Infertility or difficulty conceiving
✔ Hair loss (often at the temples or crown)
✔ Excess facial & body hair (hirsutism)
✔ Weight gain & insulin resistance
✔ Anxiety & depression
✔ Skin tags on the neck or armpits
✔ Ovarian cysts (though not always present!)

💡 The good news? PCOS is manageable! With the right nutrition, movement, stress management, and targeted support, you can restore hormonal balance and start feeling like you again.

Feeling Bloated, Moody & Stuck in a Cycle of Hormonal Chaos? It Could Be Oestrogen Dominance! 💛
Ever feel like your body is working against you? Heavy periods, bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings, and stubborn weight gain could be signs of oestrogen dominance—a common imbalance in PCOS, endometriosis, and perimenopause.

While oestrogen is essential, having too much (especially compared to progesterone) can throw everything off. But here’s the good news: your body is designed to detox excess oestrogen—it just needs the right support!

🌿 5 Ways to Naturally Detox Excess Oestrogen & Restore Balance:
💦 Sweat It Out – Your skin is a powerful detox organ! Exercise & sauna sessions help remove oestrogen through sweat, while also supporting lymphatic drainage and circulation. Try 20–30 minutes of movement daily or infrared sauna therapy to boost elimination.

🚰 Hydrate for Detox – Your bowels play a HUGE role in clearing oestrogen. If you’re not eliminating properly, oestrogen can recirculate, worsening symptoms. Aim for at least 1.5L of water daily to keep digestion moving and flush out toxins.

🌿 Castor Oil Packs for Liver Detox – Your liver processes excess oestrogen, but it can get sluggish when overloaded with toxins, stress, and processed foods. Applying castor oil packs over the liver can stimulate detox pathways, support digestion, and reduce inflammation.

🌸 Milk Thistle: The Ultimate Liver-Supporting Herb – This powerful herb protects the liver, enhances oestrogen metabolism, and reduces inflammation. It’s even been shown to help stabilise blood sugar and support hormonal balance—both crucial for PCOS and endometriosis!

✨ Your hormones WANT to be in balance—your job is to give them the right environment to thrive! Small, consistent changes = major results over time.

How Stress Wreaks Havoc on Your Hormones (& What to Do About It!) 💛
Ever feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in a cycle of burnout? Stress isn’t just in your mind—it has a huge impact on your hormones, affecting everything from energy levels to menstrual cycles.

When your body perceives stress (whether from work, relationships, poor sleep, or chronic illness), it releases cortisol, the primary stress hormone. And when cortisol stays high for too long, it can throw your entire endocrine system off balance.

🚨 How Stress Disrupts Your Hormones:
⚡ Cortisol & Blood Sugar: Chronic stress makes insulin resistance worse, increasing cravings, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain.
🌀 Cortisol vs. Progesterone: When cortisol is high, your body steals resources from progesterone, leading to irregular cycles, PMS, and low mood.
🔥 Cortisol & Thyroid Function: Stress can slow down thyroid hormone production, causing sluggish metabolism, brain fog, and hair thinning.

🌿 3 Ways to Lower Stress & Support Hormone Balance Naturally:
💨 Deep Breathing & Nervous System Regulation – Techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, 4-7-8 breathing, and vagus nerve stimulation lower cortisol naturally.
📝 Journaling & Mindfulness – A 5-minute journaling session or guided meditation can calm the stress response and boost progesterone production.
🚶‍♀️ Movement & Nature Time – Gentle movement like yoga, walking, or stretching helps metabolise stress hormones and improve sleep.

✨ Small daily shifts = big transformations. Your body thrives when stress is in check!
