In this short intro, I share the story behind Owning Space – why I created it, what led me here, and what this podcast means to me.

After years of navigating chronic illness and feeling repeatedly dismissed by the system, this journey is deeply personal. But it’s not just about me. I’ve heard so many women’s stories – of being overlooked, misdiagnosed, or told their experiences didn’t matter.

That’s why I created Owning Space. To shift the narrative around women’s health. To speak up when it’s easier to stay quiet. And to create a space where our voices are heard and our stories respected. This podcast is for every woman who’s ever felt ignored, silenced, or sidelined. We’re done shrinking. We’re reclaiming space – together.
