Before the Hysterectomy: Carol’s story of Endometrial Cancer, Loss, & Hope

This week, Nikki sits down with her lifelong friend, Carol, who is preparing for a hysterectomy and oophorectomy after a long journey with endometrial cancer. At 44, she’s facing the reality that she’ll never be able to carry children — a loss she’s spent years fighting to prevent through egg freezing, cancer treatments and hope. In this deeply personal conversation, Carol shares the heartbreak, courage, and surrender that come with saying goodbye to her fertility while entering surgical menopause. Together, they talk about grief, resilience, and what it means to keep hope alive in the face of profound change.

Carol shares:

• Her experience navigating endometrial cancer and the treatments she tried to preserve fertility
• The emotional reality of needing a hysterectomy and ovary removal after exhausting every other option
• Coping with the grief of infertility and the loss of a dream she held onto for years
• How she’s preparing mentally, physically, and emotionally for the surgery
• The support, resilience, and self-compassion she’s leaning on during this difficult time

In this episode we discuss facing loss, confronting life-altering medical decisions, and finding strength in moments of uncertainty.

What Endometriosis Is Really Telling Us with Dr. Mathew Leonardi

This week, Nikki sits down with Dr. Mathew Leonardi, one of North America’s leading experts on endometriosis, to uncover the truth about a condition that affects 1 in 10 women, yet often takes a decade to diagnose. From the hidden history of “hysteria” in women’s medicine to unfortunately normalized period pain,, this episode dives deep into how bias, outdated systems, and silence have shaped the way women experience healthcare, and how Dr. Leonardi is working to change that. 

Dr. Leonardi shares:

• Why it takes an average of 10 years for women to get an endometriosis diagnosis
• How cultural stigma and language have minimized women’s pain for generations
• The real signs your period pain isn’t normal and deserves investigation
• Why surgery shouldn’t be the only way to diagnose or treat endo
•  The reality that endo can be a chronic and recurrent condition — and why a “one and done” approach rarely works
• The use of ultrasound vs surgery in endometriosis diagnosis
• The promise of new, multimodal care — combining medication, physiotherapy, diet, and mental health support — to help women find real relief
• The hope: how research and awareness are finally shifting the narrative

It’s an eye-opening, validating, and empowering conversation that every woman should hear — whether you’ve been dismissed in a doctor’s office or simply want to understand your body better.
