This week I'm introducing a brand-new format: Breakthrough Sessions. These episodes dive deep into personal journeys, unraveling the connections between health, trauma, and transformation to inspire healing in not only the guest but everyone who listens.
In our first episode, I had the privilege of talking with Alisa Purdie, a business coach, advocate for women’s health, and now, a guiding voice in IVF education.
At just 31 years old, Alisa was told she was in menopause – an unthinkable diagnosis for someone so young, newly married, and trying to start a family.
This came after decades of chronic strep throat, endless rounds of antibiotics, and a cascade of health challenges that left her body depleted. Yet, not a single person ever paused to connect the dots. No one ever asked why. Alisa was left feeling like her body had failed her.
In this episode, you will hear a pivotal conversation between the two of us where I asked her about the connection – the very first time she considered how her history of antibiotic use, her gut health, and her early menopause were all intertwined.
Now, at 46, she’s walking a new path with her husband, JT, as they navigate IVF.
This conversation is an emotional and eye-opening exploration of:
- The connections between chronic health issues, hormones, and gut health.
- How years of untreated imbalances led to her early menopause diagnosis.
- What it means to let go of shame and rewrite your story of health, healing, and family.
Alisa’s journey is a powerful reminder that healing is always possible, no matter where you are.
If you are experiencing recurring infections, have needed multiple rounds of antibiotics, are going through early menopause or infertility or are considering IVF - this episode will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and ready to take the next step toward healing.
