Endometriosis and Invisible Illness support community
Hi fellow neighbours! I wanted to let you all know about a new community support group I've created called Entwined Collective. Our mission is to encourage and foster genuine connection amongst people who suffer from endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis, infertility, and other invisible illness like fibromyalgia. We've created a safe and welcoming online space and monthly event series for you to get to know others who truly get you. It's a space to share your story, and also learn and discover positive ways for coping with all that life throws at you. Living with an invisible illness can often be so very isolating - and having been there myself I know how invaluable finding a friend & building a network of people who understand can be.
Our first event is on Saturday 23rd November - a morning tea workshop focused on connecting with others and discovering ways to thrive despite your personal challenges during the upcoming Holiday silly season.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
