Endo, Mental Health & Fertility with Tima Savea

In this open, honest, and feel-good episode, we’re joined by the lovely Tima Savea (@timasavea) for a heartfelt conversation that unpacks the often unseen layers of womanhood - from living with endometriosis and navigating fertility, to mental health, painful periods, and the emotional toll that so often goes unspoken.

Tima opens up about her personal journey with endometriosis - the pain, the confusion, the delays in diagnosis - and how it’s impacted her fertility journey and relationship with her body. She shares what it’s been like to advocate for herself in a system that often dismisses women’s pain, and the strength she’s found through vulnerability, faith, and support.

We also dive into her experience with mental health - the highs, the lows, and the importance of speaking out. Tima reflects on how hormonal shifts and chronic pain have affected her emotionally, and how she’s learning to give herself grace through it all.

From her raw reflections on womanhood and motherhood to the power of sharing our stories out loud, this episode is a gentle reminder that you're not alone in what you’re feeling - and that healing comes in many forms.

This is a vulnerable, empowering, and soul-nourishing conversation about trusting your body, finding light in hard moments, and breaking the silence around menstrual and reproductive health.

Whether you’re living with endo, on your own fertility journey, or just craving a safe, real space to feel seen - this one’s for you.
