Bindi Irwin marked a significant milestone in her recovery journey from endometriosis. On January 18, she shared her experience of enjoying her first big hike in years. The wildlife conservationist revealed this joy in an Instagram post.

"I'll remember this day forever," Bindi shared alongside photos of her scenic hike with her husband, Chandler Powell. "A day spent hiking over 10 miles, across 3 mountains with my best friend. ❤️"

She expressed her emotions, stating that this was "my first big hike in YEARS since endometriosis took away so much. I cried quite a few happy tears. Endless gratitude in my heart. @chandlerpowell."

The Instagram post featured delightful pictures from their adventure, showing the couple in beautiful scenic locations. One photo captures Bindi standing happily in front of a mountain and lake, proudly wearing a T-shirt that read "Happy Camper."

Bindi's Candid Journey With Endometriosis

Bindi has openly discussed her challenges with endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside it. This often-painful condition led to immense struggles for Bindi.

After a decade marked by severe pain and fatigue, Bindi received her diagnosis in March 2023. This diagnosis came after a laparoscopy that revealed 37 lesions and a cyst on her ovary, necessitating surgery for removal. In an interview with PEOPLE in August 2023, she expressed relief and validation upon receiving her diagnosis, reflecting that her symptoms had aligned perfectly.

"Looking back, it was always endometriosis," Bindi stated. "I wish I could have had this surgery years ago. My pain was in the driver’s seat, and everything else took a back seat. But I believe everything happens for a reason."

A Renewed Perspective on Life

Now, with treatment underway, she feels rejuvenated. She reported feeling like she received "a second chance at life."

"It’s not like a light switch, but every week I do a little bit more," Bindi shared. The small joys returned. "I don’t have to take anti-nausea medicine or use my heat pack anymore.This change allows me to enjoy walks with my daughter without discomfort."

Bindi was honored with the 2024 EndoFound Blossom Award from the Endometriosis Foundation of America last May. At the ceremony, she shared insights about her transformation post-treatment.

"I am no longer a shadow of myself," Bindi reflected. She revealed how her self-perception changed. "I felt lost due to pain, but now I’m reclaiming my sense of self. I’m realizing I am much more than my pain."

Facing Challenges of Motherhood

She detailed her pain intensity growth after giving birth to her daughter Grace in March 2021.

"My pain escalated to new heights. It utterly consumed my life," Bindi explained. She wished to cherish motherhood and feel present, but endometriosis hindered her joy and daily functioning.

Today, she feels more vibrant and alive than she did in her childhood. Bindi chooses to share her story not only as personal reflection, but also to provide others with validation about their own health experiences.

"I hope it brings them the answers they deserve."
