A Life with Endometriosis with Nadine Dirks

Nadine Dirks, activist & author, is joining us this week to tackle this very intimate topic, because she is living with this experience herself. She has just published a memoir reflecting on her journey with endometriosis, called 'Hot Water,' and is currently studying for a master’s degree in Women & Gender Studies. Brought to you by Epi-max Baby & Junior – our family, for your family. Also supported by Jacaranda 94.2.
