At just 13 years old, Lena’s life took an unexpected turn. What began as migraine-like pain soon became a daily struggle that disrupted her teenage years and left her and her family searching tirelessly for answers.

In this first episode of and thats oook journeys, Lena, now in her 20s, shares the story of her ongoing battle with chronic pain, the long road to a suspected mitochondrial disorder diagnosis, and the impact it had on her physical and emotional well-being.

Through her honesty and resilience, Lena offers a powerful reminder of what it means to live with an invisible illness and how tools, support, and self-awareness can change the way we cope.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your health journey, or know someone who has, this conversation is a must-listen.

This episode is part of our journeys series personal, story-driven episodes that highlight real people sharing their lived experiences in connection to our season theme, Women’s Health in Focus.

🎧 This is Lena, and this is her journey.
