“Hey, hey, hey, hey, It's okay if we didn't hit our goals every single month. We're probably not going to hit it next month when we're not having a regular amount of income come in. And that's okay because we planned for it. We gave ourselves a cushion. We were able to create that space that we needed to heal our bodies, to be able to come back. I have every hope and intention of stronger, better, faster. I'm going into a song. I know it.” — Emily, 9 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW <<< ** Stay in the loop with our latest episodes, upcoming topics,...

“Now is not the time to freak out. You get shaken and shaken and shaken throughout the day. Unless you have some way of getting that energy out, your can is going to explode. Somebody is going to pull that tab thinking that they're just going to get a nice friendly soda version of you, but they get the explosion instead. A lot of times, it's the people we love. That's a big part of the neuro-spicy experience, especially if you're undiagnosed and you're not aware of it.” — Emily, 9 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW <<< ** Stay in the loop with our...

“The person hosting the event asked me, Why should somebody start a podcast? My answer was to help. To help. If your voice, if your brain, if your story, especially, can help somebody else, If you can make people laugh, if you can give somebody knowledge that they didn't have before, if you can keep someone company in the loneliest moments of their lives, which was how I found podcasts, if you're an introvert and you want to try playing an extrovert's game for a while in order to help yourself, if you're helping an organization you care very much about, if you're helping spread awareness, if...

“It's like a breakup. I'm breaking up with adenomyosis and it's like, oh, wait, that's not a thing in my life anymore. And my therapist even said that. She's like, It's like you're leaving a toxic relationship.” — Emily, 8 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW <<< ** Stay in the loop with our latest episodes, upcoming topics, and exciting announcements — ** In This Episode: I can feel some internal shifting and I’m feeling the emptiness from where my bothersome uterus used to be. But waking up without pain is awesome. We’re making sure to get...

“Four things I've noticed since my hysterectomy. One, I wake up with no more pain or the feeling of a 2-3 pound bowling ball between my hips anymore. Two, I go about my day with only minimal pain from my incisions, and that pain significantly decreases with every day. Three, I go to bed with no pain and without the feeling of a 15 pound bowling ball between my hips, the bowling ball got bigger and heavier as the day wore on. Four, this face more often. When I say this face, it's the emoji with the smile, with some tears on the bottom of its eyes. It's super cute.” — Emily, 7 Days Since...

“There's still some shifting around that I can feel, and the binder really makes a difference. So shout-out to my church friend for giving me that heads-up! I actually feel like this is much more useful post-hysterectomy than I felt it was post-pregnancy.” — Emily, 6 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW <<< ** Stay in the loop with our latest episodes, upcoming topics, and exciting announcements — ** In This Episode: It’s a quickie, but it’s one of those episodes I thought was important to record because I just got my mid-section binder and I...

“In terms of how much money I've had to leave on the table because of my health, the times I've had to say ‘No.’ I can think of at least three speaking gigs right now that I have turned down because it would mean traveling during my period, and I didn't want anybody to see that side of me — that monster side of me.” — Emily, 6 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW <<< ** Stay in the loop with our latest episodes, upcoming topics, and exciting announcements — ** In This Episode: I’m waking up without pain!

“They brought in a second doctor who apparently specializes in endo and ‘loves removing endo.’ That was a big part of all that pain. I'm just ... I don't know. I think I'm just ... I'm so grateful. When I told my husband about how I was feeling better last night and dancing around a little bit. He just had this look on his face like he was about to cry. He was like, ‘You have no idea how happy this makes me!’” — Emily, 5 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW <<< ** Stay in the loop with our latest episodes, upcoming topics, and exciting...

info_outline“I will not be capable of 100% Mom Mode that I've been in. And I can't even say 100% because I'll tell you, Adenomyosis, my period, PMS, they knock me out. So there are days where I am parenting from a couch or parenting from bed, and it sucks. And I don't even feel like 100% a parent. I feel like I'm doing the 100% I can do for that day.” — Emily, 13 Days Until Uterus Eviction Day

In This Episode:
-
We’re starting off the episode with descriptions of the last days of period pains and what it’s like suffering from Adenomyosis/Endometriosis pain month after month
-
If you think having a kid in school makes parenting any easier, think again because sick days happen more frequently than you’d think.
-
The lack of babysitting I’ve had lately is also getting to me in this episode. It’s been non-stop Mom Mode for weeks, on top of surgery prep and work, work, work mode!
-
Sorry for the bitter episode. I wanted a raw podcast and here it is, I guess!
Note from Future-Emily:
So far, the lack of pain has led to less stress overall! That said, when I recorded this episode was a particularly stressful period of time, period or not!
