Hola I'm Crystal

I’m the globe-trotting, plant-loving, journal-scribbling, coconut-milk-simmering mujer behind The Endo Vida. I’m a techie by trade, a storyteller by heart, and a wellness warrior out of pure necessity. I’ve been through hell and high deductibles. I’ve blacked out on bathroom floors, cried in front of doctors who didn’t believe me, and rebuilt myself in quiet moments no one ever saw. But I’m still here, crafting something beautiful from the messy middle. Follow along as I share the adventures and misadventures of life with endo, one vulnerable, real-ass post at a time.
