Katya Karlova | Women Empowerment

In 2023, at the height of her social media growth, Katya was diagnosed with endometriosis after a decade-long battle with unrelenting & worsening mysterious pelvic pain. This chronic illness affects 1/10 women and is one of the most painful medical conditions, with flare-ups often likened to the pain scale of a heath attack. She spent nearly a year undergoing four painful surgeries, five procedures, multiple ER admissions, and countless specialist doctor visits before finally getting the symptoms of this incurable illness under control. Katya decided to share her painful journey and the disappointing care endo patients endure with her followers. Despite the veneer of perfection often expected on social media, her fans responded to her transparency and vulnerability with support and empathy, sparking dialogue and revealing how many had loved ones affected by the illness.

Her battle with endo led her to make the decision to prioritize her health, mental & physical, and leave the corporate world behind to dive into modeling, content creation, acting and other creative pursuits full-time. Katya continues to share her life, the lessons she painfully learned, and her unique approaches to finding confidence, resilience, and self-love from within. All with the hope that it will encourage others to find the courage to be vulnerable, step outside their comfort zones, and create their unique success stories.
