Ep 15: A Conversation with My Soul Sista & Endo Warrior, Sophia

Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss

I’ve known Sophia for years. She’s one of the dear friends who’ve been with me in the midst of my losses. In addition to being my Soul Sista, she’s also an Endo Warrior. Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It often leads to debilitating pain and it isn’t uncommon for it to go undiagnosed for years—which was also Sophia’s experience. I consider Sophia to be in the Birth Warrior family because endometriosis has been known to make fertility more challenging.

To be an Endo Warrior is to dare to not simply live, but to live well even with the condition. In this episode Sophia shares her earliest experience with the condition at 12 years old, surgeries and treatments over the years, and the approach she’s now taken for reclaiming her sovereignty over her life and body.

If you’re also an Endo Warrior, I’m sending you so, so much love. Know that you are not alone! And if someone you love has been diagnosed with endometriosis, hopefully today’s episode provided a look into what this experience is like and how to support your Endo Warrior on their journey.

If you’re looking to get to the next phase of your Birth Warrior Journey, here are ways that I can support you:

1. Join the private Birth Warrior Facebook Community with others on their healing journey. Whether you’re seeking ways to bolster your healing, on a pause, or are actively trying to conceive, the community allows you to be with other Birth Warriors on their journey, and get the support you need for your next step. I lead a weekly live (Birth Warrior Wednesday!) every Wednesday at 6PM ET and share resources so you can be the fearless warrior you’re meant to be on this journey. Sign up here: facebook.com/groups/birthwarriorcommunity

2. Work 1:1 with me for your emotional healing or to gently guide you through a conception to childbirth plan for your next pregnancy. Pregnancy after loss or infertility is tough, and you do not deserve to feel overwhelmed or alone. You’ve been through enough, warrior! And you are so much stronger with the right support! Book a complimentary strategy call with me to help you get clarity on what your focus would be for the next phase of your journey: https://calendly.com/nataleefacey/20min
