Endometriosis, Medical Gaslighting, and the “Parallel Life” of a High-Performing Founder | Keva Dine | Golden Hour, Episode 61
Golden Hour
What happens when you spend decades learning how to navigate a body—and a healthcare system—that other people cannot see?
Keva Dine is the founder and CEO of the Keva Dine Agency, a global creative recruitment firm. For more than 25 years, she has built a powerhouse career while living a parallel life with endometriosis and adenomyosis—a story she has never shared publicly until now.
In this episode of The Golden Hour, Keva joins Dr. O for a candid conversation about the information women are too often left to find on their own.
She reflects on recovering from an emergency C-section without meaningful preparation for what recovery would actually require; why her second postpartum experience looked radically different once she deliberately built an infrastructure of support; and the years she spent navigating endometriosis, surgeries, medical dismissal, second opinions, and care that often seemed more focused on fertility than on helping her live well in her body.
Keva also challenges the language of being an “Endo Warrior.”
Why should patients have to fight their clinicians, fight for information, or travel what she calls an “information underground highway” simply to understand their options?
Dr. O and Keva explore what happens when self-advocacy becomes a prerequisite for receiving care—and what clinicians, families, and healthcare systems could do differently.
This is a conversation about endometriosis and postpartum recovery. But it is also about something larger: what it costs women when the burden of assembling good care is placed back on them.
The Golden Hour with Dr. O explores women’s health across the reproductive lifespan—from your first period to your last.
