Shannon Cohn, Filmmaker and Social Impact Strategist, 'Below the Belt'

Our FIRST episode of the endokind podcast is with the amazing Shannon Cohn, American Filmmaker and Social Impact Strategist, and one of the biggest change-makers in the endometriosis space. In this conversation, Shannon and I discuss our personal journeys with endometriosis, how we both transitioned careers due to health challenges, the powerful impact of storytelling, and the importance of self-care in advocacy work. We explore the creation of Shannon's film 'Below the Belt' and how it is a vehicle for larger social impact movements that are creating meaningful change in women’s health and endometriosis healthcare. 'Below the Belt' played an important role in my journey to create endokind, so it's only fitting that this is where the endokind podcast story begins.  Thanks so much for listening!
