  • UPDATED MONTHLY

Are you tired of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your pain is "normal"? So was I. 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. Facing your shit & healing yourself is more than just a podcast, it is a movement. This show is a bold, unfiltered space where we explore the real root causes of chronic illness—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and talk about the alternative healing paths the mainstream medical system won’t. From hormone health, trauma recovery, and sacred sexuality to Reiki, Ayurveda, cycle syncing, Taoist healing, and functional medicine, we dive into the unconventional practices that actually work. 💥 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.

    40. Scientist Blew the Whistle on Big Pharma — Then Lost Everything

    In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Horler — a scientist who spent 18 years in pharmaceutical drug development. When his company was contracted to manufacture the COVID vaccine for Pfizer and Moderna, he saw the clinical data and realized what was about to happen. He became a whistleblower, calling it a "genocide waiting to happen" — and paid the price for speaking out. Andrew reveals the dark truth about how pharmaceutical drugs actually reach the market, why the FDA is essentially a pay-to-play system, and how mRNA vaccine development in 18 months was scientifically impossible. He explains the regulatory capture, the profit-driven timelines, and the buried clinical data that the public never sees. I never thought I would live in a time where you could be arrested for telling the truth. Yet six years later, we’re still here. This is what the medical establishment doesn't want you to hear. Andrew Horler is a biotechnology graduate and former pharmaceutical insider who spent 18 years developing drugs and vaccines for major pharma companies — including work on COVID vaccines. After witnessing falsified safety data and impossible timelines, he became a whistleblower and was prosecuted by the UK government for his activism. He now partners with Live5D Health to develop frequency-infused wellness products and offers free health consultations for those dealing with vaccine injuries, cancer, and autism.

    39. Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself on Unbridled Thoughts | Health in the 2026 Fire Horse Year

    In this crossover episode, I join Sarah & Ren of @UnbridledThoughtsPodcast for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about how I healed myself after years of endometriosis pain, what Western medicine misses about women’s health, and why learning your body changes everything. We talk about the gaps in conventional medicine, the power of the infradian rhythm, how to start tracking your cycle, why seed oils and toxins matter, what pelvic floor therapy can do, and how art became part of my healing.

    38. The Epstein Files, Eros & Discernment: How to Tell Truth from Lies w/ Selvia Filteau

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with ordained Priestess and former federal intelligence operative Selvia Filteau to unpack the Epstein files, collective denial, and the modern discernment crisis. Why did some people see the signs years ago while others dismissed them? What shapes our perception — media narratives, social conditioning, fear? And what happens when the truth becomes too uncomfortable to look at? We dive into the inversion of sacred sexuality — eros as creative life force — and how distortion at the root of our power structures keeps humanity divided, distracted, and disconnected from sovereignty. Selvia is an ordained, initiated Priestess, ceremonialist, and spiritual mentor guiding well-resourced, world-shaping leaders through deep initiatory work rooted in sacred power, ethical leadership, and authentic influence. Before stepping into spiritual mentorship, she served as a federal agent in covert operations and human intelligence. At the height of her career, she walked away — not from lack of discipline or success — but from a refusal to continue building power on foundations misaligned with her soul. Today, she bridges strategic intelligence and spiritual mastery, guiding leaders into embodied sovereignty, discernment, and responsible influence. Links Selvia's website Selvia's YouTube Selvia's Substack 🖼️The art of this episode is a revelation. The Sound of Freedom in Blue (#43, from my Every Phase series)asks: What does freedom look like? One way to know what it is… is to know what it isn’t. Created in the discerning edge of the luteal phase—where illusion collapses and truth sharpens—this piece exposes what the world tries to bury and affirms that sovereignty begins with facing reality. In my conversation with Selvia, we explore that same edge: eros, discernment, and the power of truth to liberate. 🩸 Want to really face your sh!t?

    34. Skin Deep: Disrupting Toxic Beauty with Elle Black of SAME Skincare

    What if the beauty & skin products (even the anti-aging ones) you put on every day were actually the reason you feel tired, look older, or that your period sucks every month? Today we’re talking about just that – the hidden toxins in mainstream beauty, how clean products can be part of healing, and how your skin is a mirror for what’s happening hormonally. If you’ve ever questioned what “beauty” really means—or how your skin reflects your health—you won’t want to miss this conversation. Our guest is Elle Shelley Black, founder of SAME Skincare. After an emergency surgery and a devastating Stage 4 Endometriosis diagnosis upended her life, Elle began tracing the deep connections between hormones, daily self-care choices, and her skin. What started as a personal quest to balance her hormones soon became a rigorous practice of elimination, optimization, and attunement—adapting her skincare to match the changing needs of her cycle. This journey led to the creation of SAME Skincare: a brand designed to educate, empower, and give women a personalized protocol for aligning their skin with their cycle, mood, and life’s changes. Links SAME Skincare Insta: @sameskincare_ 🖼️Our skin is our body's art piece. Mimosas with Todd was inspired by my late mentor, Todd Murphy’s Dress Series, created through a channeled conversation with him. That dialogue shaped the piece you see here. A delicate white bodice suspended above a skirt of mimosa branches, made as a cyanotype with the sun, and threaded with shimmering gold leaf. This piece reminds us that our radiance isn't manufactured in a bottle. Quite the opposite. It's natural, it's cyclical, it's sacred and worth protecting. As you listen, let this piece be an invitation to reclaim beauty on our own terms. 🩸 Want to really face your sh!t?

About

Are you tired of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your pain is "normal"? So was I. 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. Facing your shit & healing yourself is more than just a podcast, it is a movement. This show is a bold, unfiltered space where we explore the real root causes of chronic illness—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and talk about the alternative healing paths the mainstream medical system won’t. From hormone health, trauma recovery, and sacred sexuality to Reiki, Ayurveda, cycle syncing, Taoist healing, and functional medicine, we dive into the unconventional practices that actually work. 💥 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.
