Cabaret performer, journalist and endometriosis patient Libby Trainor Parker will discuss her book Endo Days: Life, love and laughter with endometriosis at the Victor Harbor library on Wednesday 15 January.

She tells her inspiring tale of chronic illness and pain with a warmth and humour that welcomes all to learn about women's health and the female reproductive system.

You don’t have to have endometriosis, or know someone with endometriosis, to benefit from attending this event. It is suitable for anyone wishing to know more about a very common yet under-researched medical condition, in a fun and honest format.

Libby always wanted to be a writer and performer but was held back by chronic pain, which was misdiagnosed for 22 years as stress and anxiety. 

Since her endometriosis diagnosis at the age of 36. she has dedicated her life to advocating for people with chronic illness, pain and disability through her award-winning show Endo Days and her book of the same name published by Wakefield Press in 2023. 

Now with a fresh diagnosis of neurodivergence in her 40s, Libby is on another mission to empower people to learn about their bodies and brains so they can take charge of their physical and mental health.

She runs Endo Support SA, was a Director on the Board of Pelvic Pain Foundation Australia, is an affiliate member of Australian Coalition for Endometriosis (ACE), co-wrote the national schools program PPEP Talk (Periods, Pain & Endometriosis Program) and has co-authored and worked on committees for various endo research projects. 

This free event will run from 6pm to 7pm; reserve a seat online. Libby's book Endo Days will be available for purchase and she will sign copies on the night.
