endokind

<p>Hey, I’m Angie, an Australian registered counsellor specialising in endometriosis and women’s health, and I'm so glad you're here (yes, you!).&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>While navigating my own journey with endo, it struck me just how needed – but almost non-existent – specialised mental health care is for our community. So I set out to change that!</p><p><br></p><p>I trained as a counsellor and created endokind, my private counselling practice, and a space for awareness, advocacy and community building.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Through this work, I've connected with so many incredible people all over the world. From healthcare and mental health professionals, to artists, advocates, academics and authors.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>I wanted to create this podcast to give you backstage access to this diverse range of people, their stories and their work, with each episode offering valuable content that’s designed to support, inspire and empower you.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>While we focus in on endometriosis, we also explore broader topics surrounding women's health, mental health, society, culture, art, the patriarchy, advocacy, and movement building. &nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>This podcast is about stories. It tells a story, and it’s made up of stories. Because storytelling creates connection. And I’m fully convinced that connection can change the world.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Season One features 14 diverse and inspiring conversations, with a new episode dropping at the end of most weeks.</p><p><br></p><p>Hit the follow or subscribe button now to make sure they land straight into your downloads!&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>And follow along @endokind_au.</p><p><br></p><p>Big love and thanks to Astrid @astrid.dispensary for supporting Season One of the podcast, and to my dream team:</p><p><br></p><p>Artwork - Lynn Bremner&nbsp;</p><p>Music - Coda Chroma</p><p>Photography - Gang of Babes</p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer: The content you hear on this podcast is of a general, educational nature and should never be interpreted as medical or mental health advice.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>*endokind is proudly inclusive. While endometriosis predominantly affects women, it also affects transgender and gender diverse folks, and in very rare cases, cis men. We aim to avoid the use of gendered language where possible. There are times however when we discuss endo and the broader context of women's health care and women's lives. If this is sensitive for you, please take care while listening. &nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you require immediate mental health support, please contact your local crisis support service.
