Living with endometriosis is more than just physical pain—it affects mental health, identity, and daily life. In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Marie, a trauma-informed social worker, registered counselor, and certified therapeutic arts practitioner. We discuss how art therapy helps individuals process medical trauma, regulate the nervous system, and reclaim their voices in a healthcare system that often dismisses them.

Hannah also shares her personal journey with endometriosis, her work with the nonprofit This Won’t End Me, and how creative expression fosters resilience in those navigating chronic illness. If you’ve ever felt unheard by doctors or struggled to articulate your pain, this episode is for you.
