For the last 12 years, I’ve been a documentary filmmaker telling the real stories of women and girls. I’m also an autoimmune-diagnosed, lifelong recovering good girl and recovering eldest daughter. For the first time, I’m coming out from behind the camera and the story I’m telling is mine. The story of what being raised to be good as a girl can do to our health as women. Over the last many years, I have been speaking with experts spanning science to soul, other daughters raised to be good and self-compromising as I was, and conducted my own research across 1,000 autoimmune diagnosed American women. My book comes out on June 2nd, but I don’t want you to have to wait to hear what I think might be in service of you now. So I’m sharing some of my favorite moments in a handful of 15-20 minute episodes beginning March 31st. Pre-order your copy wherever your favorite books are sold. A percent of the author’s proceeds will benefit the Society for Women’s Health Research.

We have absolutely all been there. Learning to embrace the wisdom and power of our own bodies is a life long journey but it is extremely important for our health and well being as women. This week’s episode features a few very precious highlights from my multi-hour interview with fellow eldest daughter, fellow multi-time diagnosed and trauma survivor, entrepreneur and writer Michal Ann Morrison. In this episode, we cover: How early life messages around obedience and shame influence chronic illness The impact of societal and religious conditioning on women's health and self-identity How anger and unresolved emotions manifest as physical illness The importance of trusting bodily cues as sources of truth Strategies for women to reframe their relationship with their bodies and intuition The eldest daughter experience and its relevance to women with autoimmune conditions Strategies for reframing the relationship between your body, faith and self-care This episode delves into the deeply personal journey of redefining womanhood, health and self-trust through the lens of autoimmune experiences and spiritual reconnection.
