On this week's listener episode, we welcome Kayla. Kayla starts off by sharing about her preceding endometriosis and PCOS diagnoses and treatments before her and her husband, Michael, got pregnant with their daughter Ellie. They were pleasantly surprised to not need any fertility treatments or assistance getting pregnant with Kayla's diagnoses. Kayla shares about how the pregnancy progressed and the delivery experience as it took a quick turn when she needed an emergency hysterectomy. She vulnerably shares about the recovery process and healing.
