Margaret is joined by intersectional gender specialist, Dr Gurpreet Kaur, to discuss her incredible journey as an endometriosis survivor, what the condition is and how it manifests within sufferers, and how we can best help those suffering with this condition.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Endometriosis is when the lining of the uterus grows externally to the uterus itself, implanting itself upon other organs in your pelvic area.
Sufferers of this condition endure an accumulation of blood, which cannot exit, and it can manifest itself as extreme pain and inflammation.
Endometriosis is far more common than we may believe, with over 190 million women suffering globally, amounting to one in ten women on the planet.
Because this is a hormonal condition, sufferers see a lot of weight fluctuation. This makes holding a stable weight almost impossible. It also brings on chronic fatigue, meaning that enthusiasm and daily tasks are made more difficult.

BEST MOMENTS

'It is a reproductive issue that is very common'

'There was massive pain every month, to the point where I could not function'

'it's such an under-studied and under-researched condition'

ABOUT THE HOST

A few years ago, Margaret underwent several life-threatening traumas, including domestic abuse, and almost killed by her ex-partner, kidney and brain cancer, mental health issues, and a near-death experience. Her life was encapsulated in darkness, and she welcomed the thought of dying. From a breakdown to a breakthrough, these words from Viktor Frankl’s book, Man's Search For Meaning, changed her life forever: “The existence of life is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in suffering.” Once she became aware of this, her life changed, and choose to live each day like it's her last…

Today I AM Alive is a series of podcasts, to inspire others who have been through similar traumas to switch off the victim role and rise like the Phoenix to grow beyond to live a fulfilling and fruitful life. For example: Why Selfishness Isn’t Selfish? How To Find Your True Love Soulmate? Why Your Past Matters? How to Heal for Real Within?  Why Aging is a BONUS, PLUS, and a MUST!?



ABOUT THE HOST

My name is Margaret V Aberdeen, host of “TODAY I AM ALIVE!” A lot people know me for being a unique, enthusiastic, vibrant, invincible, infectious, passionate woman that brings "LIGHT" to people’s lives.

I AM an Infinite Spiritual Being, and my present roles are a Domestic Abuse, Cancer and Near-Death Experience Thriving Survivor, Award Inspirational Speaker, Author of Priceless Roles of a Mother, Poet, Coach and Nature Lover, and I have experienced some dark life-threatening traumas in this world…

Including child abuse and almost being killed by a former partner which instigated the tragic loss of my second son, plus kidney, and brain cancerous tumours, and years of constant seizures, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression, and have recently been diagnosed with a hole in my heart, not to mention the struggles of being a single mother whilst dealing with the above.

Strange as it sounds, I see all these traumas as blessings for myself to share and inspire others.

Traumas because they were tough and hard-hitting… there's no doubt about that…

But blessings because Today I AM ALIVE, what I have experienced in life have become my greatest teacher, my pillar of strength for my personal and spiritual growth, and has shown me as you age you gain infinite wisdom and that life is short and precious with multiple choice, and that YOU are in control of how to respond to whatever life throws at YOU!

I’m Proof That You Can Survive Everything. From a breakdown to a breakthrough with a positive mindset, fiercely and fearlessly embracing all my traumas like the Phoenix, I have risen and am striving and thriving triumphantly with courage,choices, and commitment to change to live life within with passion and fiery vigor.
