Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

If you’re an Endo Warrior, just know you’re not alone. 💛 #endometriosis #endowarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisawareness #endometriosiswarrior
I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off this morning… and let me tell you, I will NOT miss this thing 😅 But now I’m left with this itchy red mark as a little souvenir.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth
POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list i POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list is longer than your friends list. 🤣

Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Comment below if your calendar also looks like a full-time job of medical appointments! 😂 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesslife #spoonieproblems #invisibleillness #endometriosis

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you’ve been following along lately, you know why I won’t stop talking about it.

This disease is honestly turning my life upside down right now. The pain, the fatigue, the constant fight to be taken seriously, it’s exhausting. But if sharing my story helps even one woman realize she’s not alone, it’s worth it.

When I saw this Endo Warrior sweatshirt, I knew I had to have it. Because every single woman fighting this disease is exactly that… a warrior. 💛

If you’re living with endometriosis, struggling to get a diagnosis, or supporting someone who is, this would make such a meaningful gift during Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Let’s keep spreading endometriosis awareness, sharing our stories, and demanding better research, better treatments, and better care for the 1 in 10 women living with this disease.

Because we deserve answers. And we deserve relief. 💛

Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if this thing finally catches what’s been going on with my heart. 😅

If you’ve been following along with my little health mystery, you know I’ve been having some pretty scary episodes lately, heart racing, shakiness, and weird symptoms that no one can quite explain yet.

I actually wore a Holter monitor for two weeks back in August, but of course… absolutely nothing happened while I had it on. 🙃 Isn’t that always how it goes?!

So here we are again. Another monitor. Another attempt to catch whatever is going on.

I also had my echocardiogram this morning, so I’m really hoping between that and this monitor we might finally get some answers. Because if not… we’re basically back to square one. 😅

Trying to stay positive and trust the process though. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated as I go since so many of you have been following along and sharing your own experiences too. 🤍

And if you’ve ever had to wear a heart monitor or deal with unexplained heart symptoms, tell me your experience below!

Happy Friday, friends. ✨

Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sit Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sitting down is “fine.” 🙃

At this point I feel like I need a medical degree just to advocate for myself.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, but I’ve had severe shakiness since I was a teenager (they called it “benign essential tremor”). Lately it’s gotten worse, and now every episode comes with my heart rate skyrocketing.

173 bpm. Sitting down.
After metoprolol.
After electrolytes.

But sure… I’m “okay.”

I know POTS and endometriosis are often linked. My cardiologist thinks it’s “inappropriate sinus tachycardia.” I’m going in for an echocardiogram and another heart monitor Friday because the last one came back “inconclusive.”

When I called today to explain what happened? I was told to go to the ER.

I did that before. Got fluids. Got told I was fine. Got a $4,000 bill after insurance.

Women with chronic illness are so often dismissed, especially those of us with endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 10 women and is still wildly under-researched and underfunded.

I’m not asking for medical diagnoses. I’m asking:

Have you dealt with endometriosis + tachycardia?
POTS?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Nervous system dysfunction?

What finally helped you get answers?

Because I refuse to believe that “this is just anxiety” or “you’re fine” is the end of the story.

If you’ve been through something similar, please share your experience below. Let’s make this thread a resource for women who are tired of being dismissed. 🤍 #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth #pots #potssyndrome  #womenshealthmatters

Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 March is Endometriosis A Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m using my platform to help spread awareness about this painful, underfunded, and often misunderstood disease.

So many women I talk to are struggling with endometriosis symptoms, even if they haven’t been officially diagnosed yet.

Here’s what you need to know about endometriosis:

• It affects 1 in 10 women and girls worldwide: nearly 190 million people.
• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters

POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow for the first time… and trying to play it cool 😹❄️

Little Miss Charlie swore she was tough, rolling around in the snow like she owns the place 😂 She did low-key love it though… rolling, flopping, living her best winter queen life.

And then 2 minutes later?
Back inside.
By the fireplace.
Where the real luxury lives. 🔥😌

From scrappy outdoor stray to spoiled indoor princess… the character development is unreal. I fear she’s officially lost her street cred. But that’s okay because we love her so much and happy she’s safe inside with us! 😻

How I am Celebrating After Hitting 20K on Instagram

Well y’all, I can’t believe it, but I actually hit 20K this year on Instagram. It was my goal to hit it by the end of the year, but I never thought I would actually be able to do it. But yet, here we are! I am so excited! So I thought I would share with you all how I am celebrating after hitting 20K on Instagram.

I figured it would be fun to do something similar for when I hit 10K followers back in February this year. I wanted to partner up with some of my favorite small shops and do a fun little giveaway for one lucky person!

I figured it would be perfect to partner with my favorite small shops for this since it has been such a rough year for them.

    First of all: congratulations on hitting 20k! That’s a massive accomplishment that isn’t reached easily. Very impressive that you managed to grow another 10k in the same year. I’ve only seen a handful of people do that organically, so mega applause to you! Also, I’m loving the way you’re celebrating: by giving back! That’s such a great way to thank your audience for their support. You inspire me!

Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

If you’re an Endo Warrior, just know you’re not alone. 💛 #endometriosis #endowarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisawareness #endometriosiswarrior
I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off this morning… and let me tell you, I will NOT miss this thing 😅 But now I’m left with this itchy red mark as a little souvenir.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth
POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list i POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list is longer than your friends list. 🤣

Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Comment below if your calendar also looks like a full-time job of medical appointments! 😂 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesslife #spoonieproblems #invisibleillness #endometriosis

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you’ve been following along lately, you know why I won’t stop talking about it.

This disease is honestly turning my life upside down right now. The pain, the fatigue, the constant fight to be taken seriously, it’s exhausting. But if sharing my story helps even one woman realize she’s not alone, it’s worth it.

When I saw this Endo Warrior sweatshirt, I knew I had to have it. Because every single woman fighting this disease is exactly that… a warrior. 💛

If you’re living with endometriosis, struggling to get a diagnosis, or supporting someone who is, this would make such a meaningful gift during Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Let’s keep spreading endometriosis awareness, sharing our stories, and demanding better research, better treatments, and better care for the 1 in 10 women living with this disease.

Because we deserve answers. And we deserve relief. 💛

Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if this thing finally catches what’s been going on with my heart. 😅

If you’ve been following along with my little health mystery, you know I’ve been having some pretty scary episodes lately, heart racing, shakiness, and weird symptoms that no one can quite explain yet.

I actually wore a Holter monitor for two weeks back in August, but of course… absolutely nothing happened while I had it on. 🙃 Isn’t that always how it goes?!

So here we are again. Another monitor. Another attempt to catch whatever is going on.

I also had my echocardiogram this morning, so I’m really hoping between that and this monitor we might finally get some answers. Because if not… we’re basically back to square one. 😅

Trying to stay positive and trust the process though. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated as I go since so many of you have been following along and sharing your own experiences too. 🤍

And if you’ve ever had to wear a heart monitor or deal with unexplained heart symptoms, tell me your experience below!

Happy Friday, friends. ✨

Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sit Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sitting down is “fine.” 🙃

At this point I feel like I need a medical degree just to advocate for myself.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, but I’ve had severe shakiness since I was a teenager (they called it “benign essential tremor”). Lately it’s gotten worse, and now every episode comes with my heart rate skyrocketing.

173 bpm. Sitting down.
After metoprolol.
After electrolytes.

But sure… I’m “okay.”

I know POTS and endometriosis are often linked. My cardiologist thinks it’s “inappropriate sinus tachycardia.” I’m going in for an echocardiogram and another heart monitor Friday because the last one came back “inconclusive.”

When I called today to explain what happened? I was told to go to the ER.

I did that before. Got fluids. Got told I was fine. Got a $4,000 bill after insurance.

Women with chronic illness are so often dismissed, especially those of us with endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 10 women and is still wildly under-researched and underfunded.

I’m not asking for medical diagnoses. I’m asking:

Have you dealt with endometriosis + tachycardia?
POTS?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Nervous system dysfunction?

What finally helped you get answers?

Because I refuse to believe that “this is just anxiety” or “you’re fine” is the end of the story.

Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 March is Endometriosis A Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m using my platform to help spread awareness about this painful, underfunded, and often misunderstood disease.

So many women I talk to are struggling with endometriosis symptoms, even if they haven’t been officially diagnosed yet.

Here’s what you need to know about endometriosis:

• It affects 1 in 10 women and girls worldwide: nearly 190 million people.
• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters

• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛

POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow for the first time… and trying to play it cool 😹❄️

Little Miss Charlie swore she was tough, rolling around in the snow like she owns the place 😂 She did low-key love it though… rolling, flopping, living her best winter queen life.

And then 2 minutes later?
Back inside.
By the fireplace.
Where the real luxury lives. 🔥😌

From scrappy outdoor stray to spoiled indoor princess… the character development is unreal. I fear she’s officially lost her street cred. But that’s okay because we love her so much and happy she’s safe inside with us! 😻
