Turning Pain into Power: Harriet Watson’s Journey with Endometriosis and Endurance
Description
In this episode of Rewild You, I sit down with endurance athlete and adventurer Harriet Watson to explore her journey of navigating life with endometriosis while embracing the challenges of endurance sports.
From growing up in a multi-sport family in rural New Zealand to tackling grueling events like the Coast to Coast and ultra-distance adventures, Harriet has never shied away from pushing her limits. But her path hasn’t been without its struggles—particularly when it comes to managing a chronic condition that affects every aspect of her life.
Harriet shares:
- How growing up as the youngest and smallest in an adventurous family shaped her resilience.
- The pivotal moment when she realized that hard work could turn her struggles into strength.
- The emotional and physical toll of endometriosis and how she found her way to a diagnosis.
- The power of endurance sports as both a challenge and a coping mechanism.
- How she turns her pain into purpose, using her platform to raise awareness for endometriosis and women's health.
Through it all, Harriet has developed a mindset of persistence, learning to embrace the highs and lows of both sport and health. Her story is a testament to the power of self-advocacy, movement, and mental resilience.
