Mortal And Strong - Voice No. 58 - Tash

Introducing our latest Voice - the lovely Tash. In this episode (one of our first recorded) Tash shares her experiences of Endometriosis. Tash has had so much of her life dominated by this gynaecological disease in which uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus into the abdomen causing organ damage, chronic pain and a very debilitating disease.

Tash shares her journey and how she felt she experienced medical gaslighting for so long before being taken seriously, which resulted in a delayed diagnosis of over a decade. Tash is still ongoing with her treatment pathway and shares how this has dominated so much of her life and fertility and talks openly about the impact on her ability to socialise and form relationships. However Tash's love for her horses and nature and how she finds other ways to keep focused and find strength are poignant and useful tools for others to hear.

Thank you so much to Tash for sharing her story and being so honest about something which affects so many people. We are so grateful to Tash for being part of the Scars of Gold campaign despite still being very much in the middle of treatment.

Scars of Gold is a health awareness campaign putting the spotlight on people facing their mortality; those living with incurable or life changing conditions at a young age. Founded by Dr Liz Murray and co-led with photographer Sammy Weston, this charity campaign aims to look at health inequalities with 2024/25 focusing on Women's Health.
