Endometriosis affects roughly one in 10 women, and those with a uterus, in Aotearoa. For this month's Deep Dive, Katie talks with Sophie Sager, a writer who has been open about her struggles to get a diagnosis for endometriosis and wants to draw more attention to the condition and the difficulties to get it taken seriously.

This episode was recorded earlier this year and is being rereleased over summer.
