Let's Talk with Bethany Noble | Founder of The Periodical

Hey you! Hope you're ready for a brand new ep of LTP!

Today's episode is with Kellie Johnson, founder of Kosi! After years of pain and unanswered symptoms, Kellie was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis.

We chat on: 

• Her scary journey with endometriosis, from symptoms to diagnosis and dealing with the recurrence of her endo
• Kellie's experiences with navigating infertility, IVF and pregnancy loss
• Her advice and wisdom for those going through a pregnancy loss or infertility
