🌹Welcome to The Lifestyle Prescription with Rena Annobil! 🌹In this powerful and intimate episode, Rena speaks with Ally Hensley — writer, speaker, and global advocate for MRKH syndrome — for a compelling conversation on living with MRKH, a rare congenital condition that deeply impacts reproductive health, identity, and intimacy. 💙🌸Ally bravely shares her personal story: from being diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome at 17 to navigating the physical and emotional challenges of vaginal dilation, surgery, and the psychosocial effects that often go unseen. This episode dives into her journey through trauma, body image, domestic abuse, loneliness, and the powerful process of self-reclamation.We discuss the stigma around MRKH, the lack of awareness even in medical communities, and how societal norms around womanhood, motherhood, and sexuality are being challenged through Ally’s advocacy and her upcoming book, Vagina Uncensored. Whether you're living with MRKH, supporting someone who is, or want to expand your understanding of hidden gynaecological conditions — this conversation is essential listening.✨ This episode is a moving reminder that womanhood isn't defined by anatomy, and every story deserves to be seen, heard, and respected.💬 Have your own experience or questions about MRKH?
