1093. The 8-YEAR Health Battle You Didn’t See: Rebecca Zamolo on Ulcerative Colitis, Losing Her Colon & Starting Over


Listen Later

Hey, Heal Squad! You may know her from viral videos and billion-view challenges, but today, Rebecca Zamolo is sharing the story behind the screen—one marked by pain, resilience, and radical honesty.

In Part 1 of our raw and inspiring conversation, Rebecca opens up about her battle with chronic illness, the life-altering decision to remove her colon, and how that journey impacted her self-worth, identity, and relationships. She walks us through the emotional toll of IVF, the heartbreak of miscarriage, and what it was like to navigate it all while being in the public eye.

We explore how she rebuilt her strength (physically and emotionally) and why she chose to share these deeply personal moments with her audience. Whether you’re navigating a health crisis, infertility, or just need a reminder that healing is possible, Rebecca’s story will move you and empower you to keep going.


HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: 

  • Chronic illness doesn’t care about your plans. Rebecca was at the top of her career when her health crashed. Her body forced her to stop, reassess, and choose healing—even when it meant removing her colon.

  • You can be grateful and grieving at the same time. Rebecca shares the emotional rollercoaster of IVF and miscarriage, revealing how it’s possible to feel joy for others while holding heartbreak for yourself.

  • Silence breeds shame. She explains how speaking publicly about her miscarriage helped her release shame and allowed others to feel seen in their own stories.
