Hayley McFadyen: Trust Yourself

My guest on today’s episode is Hayley McFadyen, an actor and writer, who is currently working on her first film, Bled Through, about her personal experience of menstruation.


In this episode, Hayley shares:


  • What it was like to start her period at 14 years old, well after all of her friends
  • How being given a tampon to use was a confronting experience
  • How TikTok helped her realise that her shoulder pain was linked to her period
  • How experiencing stitches during her period led her to a self-diagnosis of diaphragmatic endometriosis
  • What she did to eventually receive a clinical diagnosis
  • How she was able to advocate for herself, even when doctors didn’t believe she had endometriosis
  • The inspiration for her film Bled Through (go to this link to support the crowdfunder to make this film!)
  • And of course, the story of her first period


Hayley says that it’s so important to trust yourself and not to allow anyone to tell you that you aren’t feeling something. She says that if you know there’s something wrong with your body, just push for that and ignore everyone else’s thoughts.


Thank you, Hayley!
