The best day of the week! Hello! Happy Tuesday. Today’s episode is about a condition that affects millions of people world wide, and I sat down with Christchurch local Ren to chat about her diagnosis of the condition. It is, of course, endometriosis. 

In this episode we learn more about the years and years of Ren’s diagnosis journey, the difference between public and private care here in New Zealand, a special type of water that isn’t what the influencers are talking about, and how she continues to be career driven while having a chronic illness.

I also want to quickly note that towards the end of the episode we do briefly talk about suicide and mental health.

And feel free to reach out over on instagram, I’m @thatssochronic. I love hearing from you all.

Make sure you’ve pressed the big purple subscribe on Apple pods, follow on Spotify, and left a review if you’re enjoying these interviews. That really helps TSC get into more ears around the world, to hopefully spread awareness, and more importantly… hope.
