In this episode, I sit down with Amie Rule — writer, practitioner, and advocate for those living with chronic pain and invisible illness. Amie shares her powerful story of growing up with health struggles, how she came to realise that her pain wasn’t just physical, and the deeper connection between trauma, emotional suppression, and the body.

We dive into the gender pain gap and the devastating impact of not being believed, but also the hope and empowerment that comes from reclaiming your voice in a system that often silences it. Amie opens up about her belief that practitioners are guides, not fixers, and why embodiment, emotional well-being, and values-aligned care are so important on the healing journey.

Together, we explore what it means to move from victimhood to ownership, how to find trauma-informed practitioners, and the conscious daily choices that can shift life with chronic illness — without dismissing the very real challenges.

This conversation is deeply compassionate, validating, and empowering. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, exhausted, or unseen in your health journey, Amie’s wisdom will remind you that you are not broken, you are not alone, and you don’t need to be cured to be empowered.

Get ready for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Izzy Smith,

an accomplished Endocrinologist based in Sydney.

After experiencing burnout following her basic physician exams, Izzy took a year off clinical medicine, a decision that led her to rediscover her passion for health and wellness. During her break, she began writing insightful blogs on Instagram and connecting with fellow health professionals, which ultimately led her to specialise in Endocrinology.

Izzy realised this field was the perfect blend of her love for medicine and her deep interest in the role lifestyle factors—such as exercise, nutrition, and mental health—play in overall well-being. Now working exclusively in private practice, she finds immense joy in helping others achieve better health outcomes.

Izzy opens up about the intersection of physical and mental health, the importance of lifestyle in managing endocrine conditions, and the common misconceptions she encounters in her field. We also explore how endocrine disorders affect men and women differently, and she shares her honest insights on the birth control pill and navigating synthetic hormones. This conversation is raw, insightful, and packed with practical wisdom on medicine, movement, and mental well-being.

Juliet Oliver is on a mission to transform endometriosis care — and she’s doing it with heart, strategy, and lived experience. After years of battling stage 4 endometriosis, PCOS, and infertility, Juliet took matters into her own hands when conventional medicine fell short. What came next was nothing short of revolutionary: Endo45, a FemTech app designed to help people feel better in months, not years through evidence-based, practitioner-backed support and a truly whole-person approach.

Now eight years pain and symptom-free, Juliet is proof that healing is possible — and sustainable. She’s not just an app founder; she’s a fierce advocate, a nature-loving mother, and a gut health guide who’s redefining what it means to thrive after chronic illness. Whether she’s fly fishing in New Zealand, walking through native bush, or educating others on the Endo Help Gap, Juliet leads with authenticity, wisdom, and a deep connection to the body’s ability to heal.

We dive into her powerful health journey, her shift from engineering to entrepreneurship, and the inner transformation that sparked the creation of Endo45.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or stuck in your healing — this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to reclaim your power.
