    Where I’ve Been… And Why I’m Finally Ready to Talk About It

    For nearly two years, Chronically Authentic has been quiet. Today, I’m finally sharing why. What started as a pause after receiving death threats following our move to Hawaiʻi became one of the most life-changing seasons of my life. Within months, I was diagnosed with a BRCA2 genetic mutation, underwent a preventative double mastectomy, and was later diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). In this deeply personal relaunch episode, I’m opening up about everything that happened behind the scenes—the fear, grief, identity shifts, rebuilding my health, and why I chose to press record again before having all the answers. Whether you’re navigating a diagnosis, advocating for yourself, grieving the body you once knew, or simply wondering where I’ve been, I hope this conversation reminds you that healing isn’t linear—and you don’t have to walk through it alone. Thank you for giving me the courage to come back. Welcome to Season 2 of Chronically Authentic. In this episode, we talk about: • Why the podcast disappeared for nearly two years • Receiving death threats after sharing our move to Hawaiʻi • What a BRCA2 mutation actually is • Choosing a preventative double mastectomy • My diagnosis of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) • Navigating hormone replacement therapy and unexpected body changes • Why health is so much more than diet and exercise • What Chronically Authentic looks like moving forward If this episode resonates with you, I’d love for you to share it with someone who might need to hear it. Your support helps these conversations reach more people navigating similar journeys. Find me on IG + TikTok @nicki.bunting Or visit my blog NICKIBUNTING.com
