Prue is the founder of Earth Altering and an artist whose work sits at the intersection of nature, embodiment, and creative expression. Working at a large scale with flowers, natural materials, and the land itself, she creates earth altars, medicine wheels, and immersive installations for festivals and private events. She also creates and publishes images of herself nude in natural environments on OnlyFans.

Prue came on the podcast to talk about the years leading up to her lupus diagnosis, her experience navigating the medical system with a complex autoimmune condition, and how chronic illness became the catalyst for a fundamental reorientation of her life.

Our conversation traces the accumulation of stress, suppression, and overextension that preceded her body’s collapse - and the clarity that followed.In this episode, we explore living with autoimmune disease, uncertainty and misdiagnosis, burnout and identity loss, the limits and strengths of Western medicine, creativity as a healing force, nudity and censorship, sexuality and self-authorship, and how working directly with the earth - and the body - became both a personal practice and a public offering.
