Let's Talk with Aleksija Mirkovic (A.K.A LEX) | Performing Artist + Endo Warrior

Hellloooo beautiful LTP fam and welcome back another ep!Today's episode is with Aleksija Mirkovic, or you may know her as dark-pop artist LEX. Born into a family from war-torn Serbia, music quickly became LEX’s escape and a way to express her emotions. Finding her feet in the Australian music scene, LEX has already been able to accomplish radio play, as well as collaborations with some of the best in the country. LEX lives with endometriosis and was only officially diagnosed at 22, after suffering for eight years. LEX has had to shift her focus between music and her health, just to try to get her chronic illness under control. She’s always been someone to just sweep any of her struggles under the rug and pretend to the world that everything is fine, but she now feels like her purpose in life is so much more than just her music, and wants to spread awareness for this chronic illness that so many suffer with.We chat on: The importance of listening to your bodyHer endo journey from first experiencing symptoms to finally getting diagnosedThe expensive nature of living with endo What endo has given her and the most challenging parts How LEX's chronic illness has influenced her music and work as an artist What she wants to see change in the pelvic health space Plus so much more! Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Let’s Talk, Period. with Aleksija Mirkovic aka LEX!  If you want more from LEX,  you can follow her on instagram @iamlexmusic or you can listen to her music on Spotify here.
