119. What If Endo Was the Gift? Kelsey's Journey From Daily Pain to Mental Health Therapist

🎧 Episode Show NotesKelsey knows what it feels like to be in pain every single day, and she also knows what it takes to find meaning on the other side of it. Living with both endometriosis and PMDD, Kelsey's personal experience with chronic illness ultimately led her to become a mental health therapist, turning her hardest chapters into a career built on helping others heal. In this episode, Kelsey gets beautifully honest about the grief that comes with an endo diagnosis, the role her mom played in helping her see how much she was truly struggling, and the mindset shift that changed everything, reframing endo not as something that happened to her, but as a gift that shaped who she is. She also drops real, practical wisdom on sleep, stress, and nervous system regulation that every endo warrior needs to hear.Where to find Her: kelseywilsontherapy.com⚠️ Medical DisclaimerThis podcast shares personal experiences and informational resources.
