Episode 3 of Cneasú the Podcast goes live on Saturday October 25th on Spotify be sure to listen in.

In this powerful first part of a two-part interview, we speak with Emma Cotter, an Irish woman living with endometriosis whose story exposes the devastating impact of being dismissed and disbelieved by the healthcare system.

For decades, Emma endured chronic pain and medical gaslighting, repeatedly told by Irish doctors that she did not have endometriosis. With no access to specialist care in Ireland, she made the difficult decision to travel abroad under the EU Cross Border Directive, where she finally received her diagnosis and underwent major surgery in Romania.

In this deeply honest conversation, Emma shares her lived experience of navigating trauma, infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss — and the emotional toll of being failed by a system meant to care for her.

This episode sheds light on the urgent need for reform in women’s healthcare in Ireland, and the strength it takes to keep fighting for answers when no one is listening.

👉 Content Note: This episode includes discussions of infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss, which may be distressing for some listeners. Support links are available in the show notes.

🎙️ Part Two will explore Emma’s recovery after surgery, her advocacy work, and her journey toward healing and hope.
