Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself

37. Why I Left Social Media -- Reading as Rebellion


Listen Later

Our time and energy are the only things we truly own — and I’m reclaiming mine.

You know what the best marketing strategy is? Telling the truth. Your truth is your success.

I'm sharing why I left Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and TikTok — and what I’m doing instead: reading, creating, and focusing on meaningful work. I dive into the books that transformed my life, art, and healing, including: The Ultimate Coach, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, In the FLO, WomanCode, and The Artist’s Way.

I want to hear from you!

About the Podcast

Tired of being dismissed or told your pain is “normal”? So was I.

I’m Meredith Ochoa—ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST, photographer, author & generational cycle‑breaker. After 17 years of endometriosis I faced my shit, healed myself, and turned the journey into art.

🩸 Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself is a movement + a podcast: Raw talks on healing chronic pain, hormones, trauma, endo, autoimmune disease and more.

We expose medical myths and spotlight the tools Western medicine buries—functional medicine, Reiki, Ayurveda, Taoist & sacred‑sexuality practices, cycle syncing, biohacking, and beyond. Episodes drop every third Wednesday with mini art‑process drops in between.

Authenticity is the first dose of medicine; art is the second. Even though I was lied to by big‑pharma‑loving doctors; I found the experts & practices who helped me achieve what I thought was impossible—this show introduces them to you.
