Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself

About Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself

I’m Meredith Ochoa — ANOTHER F*#%ING ARTIST, photographer, author & generational cycle-breaker. After suffering for 17 years with excruciating endometriosis, I faced my shit & healed myself. Now, I create powerful art and conversations that help others do the same. Authenticity is the first dose of medicine. Art is the second. Facing your shit & healing yourself is more than just a podcast, it is a movement. And the conversation Western medicine doesn't want you having. We go deep on the root causes of chronic illness — physical, emotional, and spiritual — and spotlight the healing paths the mainstream system buries. Endometriosis. Autoimmune disease. Hormonal dysfunction. PCOS. PMDD. Trauma. Narcissistic abuse recovery. Cycle syncing. The infradian rhythm. Functional medicine. Reiki. Ayurveda. Taoist healing. Sacred sexuality. Psilocybin. DNA activation. Plant medicine. Somatic healing. And beyond. 💥 If you’ve ever felt like there must be more to healing—there is. 💥 If you’re navigating chronic pain, chronic illness, endometriosis, autoimmune disease, health trauma— or if you have been gaslit by western medicine, this is your space. 💥 If you're a practitioner, healer, or wellness brand ready to be part of this healing revolution—we should talk. Each episode features raw truth, expert guests, plus stories behind the art series Every Phase, where I am 'living the art' as I visually document my cyclical healing process. All Healing starts with being authentic. Through my art I am healed, and I heal others. 🎧 New episodes drop every third Wednesday of the month, with art biohacking & raw process talks in between.

   Built By an Endo Founder, For Endo Women | Oyva

   Linda Jermacans walked into her doctor's office thinking she was in perimenopause. She walked out on her way to a stage four endometriosis diagnosis. Her main symptom was chronic fatigue, which is something nobody tells you to look for, so she almost never got diagnosed at all. Then she got handed the options: go into a fake menopause, or take out your uterus completely, and hey, you're not having kids anymore anyway. She didn't wait around for other options. She went down the rabbit hole herself, 20 pills a day and 10 different supplements, until she reverse-engineered her own body and built Oyva instead. ------- 🩸 The most important piece of art is you. 7 questions. 60 seconds.

   Coherent Creation: The Architecture of Reality with Kathryn Brewer

   Kathryn Brewer was an analyst. Spreadsheets, evidence, give me an expert — and if I have a sudden knowing, it's a hallucination and I need to shut up. Then she had an experience she couldn't explain through any belief system available to her, and she had exactly two options: gaslight herself, or let reality get bigger. She let it get bigger, and then she did the thing almost nobody does — she mapped it. This conversation goes into Coherent Creation, the framework she built from a ninth-century monk's three mysteries, why partnership beats force every single time, how money shows up as the evidence your inner skeptic can't argue with, and what nobody warns you about when you start awakening to who you really are. This is the book I didn't want to end. ------- 🩸 YOU DIDN'T LAND HERE BY ACCIDENT. The Living Art Personality Quiz: Seven questions. 60 seconds.

   Neurosurgeon Who Says You Probably Don't Need Surgery | Dr. Jeff Gross

   A board-certified neurosurgeon walks into your podcast and tells you that 40% of the surgeries people are told they need — they don't. And if your doctor handed you a form and said "sign here" without a real conversation, that's actually malpractice. Dr. Jeff Gross left the spine surgery conference circuit, retrained in regenerative medicine, and built a practice on informed consent, exosomes, and the radical idea that your body already knows how to heal. This one's for everyone who's been handed a prescription instead of a choice. ------- 🩸 YOU DIDN'T LAND HERE BY ACCIDENT. The Living Art Personality Quiz: Seven questions. 60 seconds.

Inside a recent episode

Neurosurgeon Who Says You Probably Don't Need Surgery | Dr. Jeff Gross

Published 17 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Yeah, those helped a little or temporary, but I still have these issues. And I go, well, next thing on the menu, surgery, should we discuss it? Oh, no, doc. Yeah. No, I don't want to do a surgery. I'm like, great, because I wasn't ready to offer it to you. You're still functional even though you're not perfect. And in this era of MRIs, we can see so much and diagnose things earlier. Although to repeat, the MRI is not the diagnosis. The MRI is for correlation. People with no pain can have disc findings on the MRI and people with severe pain can have no findings on the MRI. So we really, the art of medicine is treating the patient, not the MRI. […]
