Mortal And Strong - Episode 8 - Camilla's Story

Introducing another amazing strong voice from the series and we are honoured to have published author Camilla Fellas Arnold sharing her journey to being diagnosed with Endometriosis, struggles with fertility and miscarriage. Camilla's journey is like that of a beautiful Butterly coming into its own glory. As a teenager Camilla was bullied for her heavy and problematic periods, and through various reasons found her voice silenced as she become an adult. Through the last few years in her journey to getting her preliminary diagnosis of Endometriosis after numerous hospital trips and her life being halted because of pain and morbidity - Camilla has found herself simultaneously finding her voice again. Not only has Camilla found her voice, but she has published a book! Using her words to help and encourage others. When her own medical problems left her feeling lost and struggling to find joy, she turned the word into a focus and managed to re-orientate her mindset. This is a brilliant conversation with podcast hosts Laura Middleton-Hughes and Dr Liz Murray where the three truly address and pull apart the social taboos of talking about periods, miscarriages, the mental health impact of fertility. Another amazing contribution to the Mortal And Strong project.
