Speaker 1:I don't know about you, but I feel like 2024 came and went faster than I could charge my phone One minute. We're celebrating January. Now I'm here looking at the crumbs of my New Year's resolutions, wondering where they went. As we close this chapter, I want to take a moment to pause and reflect on everything this year brought us, and by everything I mean both the good stuff and the chaos, because, let's be honest, the journey of endometriosis and chronic illness isn't exactly smooth sailing. It's more like a roller coaster, one you didn't willingly buy a ticket for. I'm pointing fingers at you, chelsea, who got me on the slingshot at the summit with a little liquid courage and pre-bought ticket and telling me I'm going on it Probably most terrifying moment in 2024. Thank you, chelsea.
Speaker 1:First, I need to shout out the absolute rock stars of this community. All of you, whether you're navigating life with endo, advocating for others or providing care, you are what makes this community so remarkable. I feel so lucky to be part of it, even if it's a club that none of us would have signed up for voluntarily. Still, here we are, turning pain into power and leaning on each other along the way. Looking back on this year's episodes and all the reflections that we just went through, I'm blown away by the conversations we've had, from deep dives into hormone health and mental wellness to uncovering the realities of surgical menopause. Here's a spoiler it's no tropical vacation. We've tackled it all. And let's not forget the guest experts who brought their A-game, like Dr Bebe Hani, dr Liu, who remind us all that knowledge is truly power, or the episode where we explored the intersection of endo and invisible disabilities with Chanda Hinton and Bryce Rafferty. Those ones always stick with me.
Speaker 1:But one of the biggest takeaways this year was the power of storytelling. We heard real people just like you share their stories, the triumphs, the heartbreaks and the moments of clarity when I was sitting down with people like Jen Moore and Arlie Cole and Casey Berna. All the moments that they shared were their moments of clarity, things that they had learned that put their pieces back together. It also propelled them into advocacy in a way that they had never imagined they would probably be in. That's the stuff that fuels me. It's not just about the information, it's about the connection. And speaking of connection, did you know that studies show strong social support can reduce stress and even lower pain levels? Science has officially proven what we've always known this community is like ibuprofen for the soul. So keep sharing, connecting and showing up. It makes a difference.
Speaker 1:As we head into 2025, I'm thrilled about what's ahead this year. We're leveling up. We're not just looking at endometriosis. We're looking at you, the whole complicated, wonderful human being. You Because, let's face it, it endo is only one piece of the puzzle. We're diving into hormones, hrt, mental health and sexual health, informed consent and those sneaky pain facilitators that don't get enough attention. We'll also explore cutting-edge approaches to endo care and, of course, keep the stories coming. And hey, if there's something that you want to talk about, or learn more about anything that's been on your mind or in your Google search history, email me at contact at endobatterycom.
Speaker 1:This podcast isn't a one-way street, it's a conversation. Oh, and, while I have you, let's talk about my plate for a second. You'd think by now that I've learned to stop piling so much on it, but nope, it is a constant learning thing for me and something I'm really honestly not great at. But I'm working on, I'm working on, but before I get to that working on, I've got some new projects cooking things that will hopefully bring even more value to this amazing community. I can't say too much yet, but Just know 2025 is going to be a year of growth, connection and maybe even a little surprise or two.
Speaker 1:But before I wrap up, I want to leave you with this you are so much more than your diagnosis. Your body is resilient, your voice is powerful and your story matters. Together, we're not just navigating chronic illness, we're shifting the narrative entirely. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey this year. Whether you've been with me since the first episode or you just found EndoBattery yesterday, you're part of this family and, honestly, knowing you're out there keeps my battery charged. Here's to a new year full of empowerment, connection and maybe a little less coffee-fueled chaos, but likely, probably not. I will always drink my coffee and sometimes switch for tea for those that really care about my health, and I hope that you feel fueled and empowered as we continue in this journey. I can't wait to take it with you. So stay strong, stay hopeful, and I'll see you in 2025. Until then, continue advocating for you and for others.
