121. 3 Hours in the Car and Still No Answers, over and over again. Harlee & Sherry's (her Mom) Story

🎧 Episode Show NotesWhen you live in a small town, getting care for endometriosis isn't just hard; it's exhausting in every sense of the word. Harlee and her mom, Sherry, know that reality better than most. With limited local doctors and almost no endo specialists nearby, they found themselves making a grueling 1.5-hour drive to the ER over and over again, just to be dismissed again and again. In this episode, Harlee and Sherry sit down together to talk about what it really looked like to fight for including Harlee's long, painful road to finally securing disability after multiple denials. Through it all, Harlee's spirit never broke, and her outlook will leave you both in tears and in awe.⚠️ Medical DisclaimerThis podcast shares personal experiences and informational resources.
