11 - Bleeding, Burnout & Blazing: Living with Endometriosis, PMDD, & ADHD with Lillie Brown.

Lillie Brown is a sexologist, speaker, and fierce advocate for body literacy and cannabis education. She lives with endometriosis, PMDD, and ADHD and in this deeply honest (and hilarious) conversation, she shares what it’s really like to live in a body that doesn’t always play nice.

We talk about the long road to diagnosis, the rollercoaster of symptoms, and the life-changing power of cannabis when used with intention. From DIY lube and THC suppositories to navigating the stigma of smoking a joint for pain, nothing is off limits in this episode.

Whether you're cannabis curious, chronically ill, or simply craving more honest conversations about women's health, this one’s for you.

Content Note:
This episode includes discussions of chronic illness, mental health (including suicidal ideation), vaginal pain, medical dismissal, and cannabis use. Please listen with care.

In this episode, we cover:

 • Lillie’s journey with endometriosis, PMDD, and ADHD
 • Why it took years to get diagnosed
 • How cannabis helps with pain, appetite, sleep, and emotional regulation
 • Oils vs vapes vs smoking vs suppositories
 • THC on the vulva
 • The mental load of living with invisible illness
 • What to do if your doctor won’t listen
 • How to use cannabis with intention, not as a crutch
 • Why stigma still silences women and how we’re changing that
