After years of interstitial cystitis procedures every 3–4 months, chronic pain, and weight gain, Vicki discovered Mind Change, began with the book and a small group, and eventually flew to a private retreat during 2020. As she released shame and fear, her triggers calmed, her marriage came alive, and she shed 65 pounds without “dieting”—guided instead by self-worth. If you’ve “tried everything,” wonder whether your symptoms are tied to old wounds, and are finally ready to choose yourself, this conversation offers a hopeful, practical roadmap for true healing.
