39 ~ Helene from The Spoonie Society's journey with Chronic Illnesses including : Endometriosis, Egg freezing, Intussusception & Emergency Surgeries

In this powerful episode, I speak with Helene Hill, the Co-founder and Owner of The Spoonie Society and Slug Lounger. A warrior in her own right, Helene shares her courageous journey through multiple chronic illnesses, including Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, PCOS, IBS, and GERD. In a deeply personal conversation, we explore Helene's resilience in facing numerous laparoscopies, procedures, and the emotional rollercoaster of freezing her eggs and having her left ovary and both fallopian tubes removed. Her journey took an unexpected turn earlier this year, with a rare medical event - Intussusception - leading to a harrowing experience of vomiting blood, immense pain, emergency surgeries, ICU stays, MET calls, and moments of feeling like she was going to die. Helene shares invaluable tips and advice for those navigating their chronic illness journey. This episode not only serves as a platform for awareness but also provides a comforting space for listeners to feel heard and understood. Tune in for an insightful and informative discussion that goes beyond the surface, amplifying the voices of those battling unseen battles, as Helene shares her story of resilience, hope, and healing. 🌸Use the code WILDBLOOM at checkout for 20% off your purchase at : wearewild.com to buy your own natural deodorant, body wash, or soap that is good for the environment and good for your skin! 🌸 Find Helene online: Instagram, The Spoonie Society & Slug Lounger 💗 Thank you so much for being here on this adventure with me! 💗 - Hayley xo ✨ Find us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beforeyoubloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ The Before You Bloom Podcast is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
