Emma Barnett on the agony of endometriosis: 'It’s like a drilling sensation in my whole body’
Broadcaster and author Emma Barnett joins Just As Well with her trainer Frankie Holah to speak candidly about living with endometriosis and adenomyosis, enduring 30 years of chronic pain, and the impact of IVF. Emma shares the reality of working in high-pressure live broadcasting while coping with debilitating symptoms, and explains how she reframed her body from enemy to ally.
Frankie offers practical advice on movement, training, and supporting women through endometriosis and postpartum recovery.
This is a powerful conversation about resilience, women’s health, and why female pain should never be ignored.
