The lessons I didn’t expect to teach my child as someone living with chronic pain | endometriosis

How do you explain a "flare-up" to a child? In today’s video, I’m sharing a personal look at motherhood with endometriosis and what I hope my daughter learns from growing up with a mom who lives with chronic pain. For a long time, I worried that my invisible illness would define her childhood. But as we navigate the realities of pain and energy limits together, I’ve realized we are actually building a foundation of empathy, body literacy, and resilience. We’re moving away from the "brave face" and toward a "connected" reality. Whether you are an endometriosis warrior, a spoonie parent, or someone navigating your own health journey, I hope this encourages you that your limitations aren't a burden - they are an empathetic teaching tool.
