Endo Thick Of It with Brandon and Kimether

It was awesome getting to know the Brian and Julia Mandeville. We discussed Julia’s endometriosis diagnosis, the struggles of having pain dismissed, the importance of self-care for both partners, the importance of patience (except for people who think it's their business to inquire about your fertility), advice for other couples navigating chronic illness, and much more. They are a beautiful example of how two individuals can be so different and yet still truly meant to be. Though they remain in the thick of it, they've learned a lot about navigating endometriosis in marriage so check out this convo and let us know: what felt relatable? What tips would you share with other couples navigating chronic illness?

Endometriosis: A Family Affair - with Mike and Kellie Baker Part 2

We had such a great time speaking with Mike and Kellie Baker, an amazing couple and parents of three lovely children. Kellie suspected that their daughter’s symptoms were due to endometriosis, then later realized that she too was experiencing symptoms that also appeared to be due to endometriosis. Her suspicions were right. Soon after their daughter’s laparoscopic surgery that confirmed her endometriosis diagnosis, Kellie had surgery which confirmed her endometriosis diagnosis as well. Kellie and Mike shared so many powerful insights into what it’s like to care for a child with endometriosis, how they stay connected while navigating chronic illness, and how to seek out moments of joy through the journey.

Mike is fondly known in the endometriosis community as @Endodad76. He’s an Endodad and an EndoHusband who uses his AI art to create endo warrior tributes designed to honor and inspire those who are dealing with this devastating disease. Check out his work on his IG page or his website https://endodad76.zenfoliosite.com/
