Endometriosis Memoir: Pain, Loss & Triumph | Yvonne Richardson-Hay | EP11

Some endometriosis stories take a memoir to fully tell. In this episode of Endo Warriors, host Callie Greenberg interviews Yvonne Richardson-Hay, an endometriosis warrior, advocate, and author, about growing up in rural Queensland with environmental chemical exposure, her decades-long struggle with severe endometriosis, multiple surgeries, motherhood against the odds, and the emotional aftermath that led her to write her memoir. Yvonne and Callie explore diagnosis delays, identity shifts caused by chronic illness, and the kind of writing that becomes survival. Yvonne talks openly about pain, loss, and the triumph of finally being seen, plus what it took to put her story into the world. This conversation is for anyone whose endo journey deserves to be a book and anyone who needs proof that triumph is possible after years of pain and loss.
