BINDI'S FRESH START IN AMERICA!

A shock health battle has seen the wildlife warrior wanting more out of life

- 

From the moment she could walk and talk, Bindi Irwin lived and breathed Australia Zoo - but things could be about to change forever.

Breaking her silence, the 24-year-old mum of Grace, who turns two next week, has revealed that while raising her daughter and being an advocate for the zoo, she has also been silently suffering from crippling endometriosis.

"There is only so much one person can do at the best of times," says a source. "Bindi has been running herself ragged, all while feeling terrible."

Now, fresh from intensive surgery in New York to ease her symptoms, insiders say she's ready to take a break from the zoo she calls home.
