Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Kira

I thought I would be a lot of things by 30. But I never thought I would be chronically ill.

And I’m a 30 year old therapist with chronic illness. I want to make sense of this juxtaposition in my life by blogging my life experiences and the lessons I have learned in the past year and a half.

Since I was diagnosed with Endometriosis (endo) and Adenomyosis (adeno), I’m encountered so many brave and beautiful women fighting either one or both diseases. It is my lofty goal to provide a safe space for endo warriors, endo sistas, their friends, family and lovers/husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends/friends with benefits to *wink* to learn, understand, share and talk about their experiences with these diseases. Whether these experiences are direct or indirect, I hope by taking the opportunity to share first, I can inspire other women to interact and create a community rife with camaraderie and encouragement.

For my first post, I want to share my story struggling with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis and how these diseases have touched my life and changed it forever.

All are welcome to join me on this journey to create a healthier and better life style while I also try to break the wheel of modern medicine and societal expectation that are mishandling the lives of women suffering with these diseases.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.
