In this episode, Mikah interviews MĚI's own Aishani Pandey, a high school athlete and student advocate living with suspected endometriosis. Their conversation traces Aishani's years-long journey from her first dismissed symptoms at age ten - through irregular cycles, near-anemia, a rejected IUD, and passing out mid-exam - to finally receiving a suspected diagnosis and awaiting laparoscopic surgery. Along the way, they discuss the systemic failures that delayed her care, what it looks like to self-advocate as a teenager navigating both chronic pain and school attendance policies, and why menstrual health in educational institutions can never be one-size-fits-all.
