This week, I’m talking to Lara Parker. Lara is a writer, editor, deputy director at BuzzFeed.com, and the author of Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics.

In this episode, Lara and I discuss living with multiple chronic conditions, finding pain-management tools, learning to advocate for yourself, decision fatigue, and finding glimpses of hope and acceptance (even in the darkest days).
