Stay Healthy New England Podcast: Michelle’s Pelvic Pain Journey

I had the pleasure of opening up and sharing my pelvic pain journey with Dr. Jessica Papa, PT, DPT (owner of  Arancia Physical Therapy in Rhode Island, USA) on her Stay Healthy New England Podcast.

The Stay Healthy New England Podcast features top experts in Health, Wellness & Nutrition with a particular focus on alternative therapy, Women’s Health & Chronic Pain.

In this episode, I discuss how a winter tobogganing accident from when I was just 8 could have been the trigger that caused all of my suffering. You will learn how my pain has motivated me to advocate for others with chronic pelvic pain using my blog and social media and how I hope to empower and help shorten people’s journey so they can get the answers & care needed to begin healing sooner, rather than later.

Thank you again Jessica, for giving me the opportunity to raise awareness and share my story on your platform.

Endometriosis & The Bladder: What No One Is Telling You – The Dr. Jess Show

Endometriosis doesn’t exist in isolation—and neither do its symptoms. In this episode, Dr. Jess explores the often-overlooked connection between endometriosis and bladder urgency, breaking down why the constant “I have to go” feeling isn’t about a full bladder, but a sensitized system under stress.Instead of focusing on symptom management, this conversation zooms out to ask the bigger question: why is the body responding this way? From pelvic floor pressure to whole-body dynamics, this episode offers a new way to understand what you’re feeling—and why it’s not random.For anyone who feels like they’ve been managing symptoms without real answers, this is a perspective shift toward clarity, control, and hope.👉 ⁠⁠Conquer Incontinence Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Jess Papa⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Phone Consult! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Arancia Physical Therapy⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @aranciaptYoutube: @aranciaphysicaltherapy5131
