Your Chronic Illness Doesn’t Define Who You Are

with podcast guest

Jenneh Rishe

share

Jenneh Rishe is a Registered Nurse who lives with endometriosis and several other chronic illnesses, and she is the founder of The Endometriosis Coalition and author of the upcoming book, Part of You, Not All of You. Jenneh’s focus in her work and in her book is on educating and encouraging people suffering from chronic illness, advocating for their needs, and teaching them how to live a full and fulfilled life that doesn’t center around their condition.

In this episode, we talk about the double standard when it comes to women’s health in the medical community, the frightening overnight decline Jenneh experienced with her health, why Jenneh founded the Endometriosis Coalition, how people with chronic illnesses can navigate the new dynamics created in relationships and at work, and so much more!

I typically experience bloating, lower back pain, and cramping is in the lead up to my period and since I’ve been using Elix for the past month, my luteal phase and my period have been noticeably easier. While I don’t have majorly disruptive periods, I have noticed things are changing in my 40s and this is why I’m so excited about the positive changes I’m seeing.
