Living With Endometriosis

A year and half ago I went in for a surgery that I was hoping would give me a lot of answers. When I began to wake up the doctor informed me that I had endometriosis that had spread throughout my organs. It was “deeply infiltrative endometriosis” or DIE, which is what I had felt like was happening to me before surgery. There was so much relief that I felt to know they found something and I wasn’t crazy or it wasn’t just in my head.

Sexual Orientation vs. Romantic Orientation: What’s the difference?

We live in a time where there are nearly limitless identities we can use to describe our life experiences. Gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, aromantic, biromantic, polyromantic, etc., ….but wait, how are those different again? It’s incredible that there are so many descriptors that validate people’s selfhood, but I for one didn’t just magically download all of them into my brain overnight. In a quest for developing a continual knowledge base surrounding the relationships we have with ourselves, family, and friends, it’s easy to get lost in the lingo. My hope is to give you a beginner-friendly shallow dive into the differences between sexual and romantic orientations. Feel free to use what follows as a launch pad for more research, starting open conversations, and igniting self-understanding.

For far too long, women’s health has been an afterthought—something we just had to “deal with” quietly. But not anymore. Women’s health is finally getting the attention it deserves, and one of the biggest topics right now? Perimenopause. It’s that transitional phase before menopause when estrogen levels start shifting, leading to all kinds of fun (read: frustrating) symptoms. Hot flashes? Check. Irregular periods? Yep. Low libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings? Unfortunately, all on the list. The good news? People are talking about it, and that means more support, more solutions, and way less suffering in silence.

However, the true transformative power lies in leveraging these occasions as catalysts to foster meaningful dialogues among colleagues.

Why Every Woman Should Get a Pelvic Floor Assessment—And How It Affects Sexual Health

When we think about pelvic floor health, we often associate it with women who have given birth. But pelvic floor health is essential for every woman, regardless of childbirth history.

The Barbie Movie: An Edgework Special

I finally saw the Barbie movie (I was a few weeks behind), and I'll start by saying it absolutely lived up to the hype. What a timely coincidence that here at WISe we're focusing on "Edgework" this month and what it means to push past and challenge our limitations. The Barbie movie focuses on just that.

In a world that often feels full of roadblocks, "Barbie" serves as a hopeful tale that we can overcome our challenges, it tells an encouraging story of humans of all ages  breaking free from societal boundaries. It's overall a movie of triumph, but also a reminder of how far we still have to go.
