Gabriella (Gabz) Pearson has lived with endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibromyalgia, hypermobility and ongoing assessments for PMDD and ADHD.

After six surgeries, including a recent hysterectomy, she shares her experience of being medically gaslit from childhood, masking pain, and navigating the decisions tied to fertility and identity. In this powerful conversation, Gabz opens up about the resilience it takes to self-advocate and the hope she’s found in community and advocacy through the Menstrual Health Project.

In this episode I’m joined by Liza Al Sady, Breath Expert and Founder of We The Concious. Together we explore how trauma and past hurt can show up in the body, what safety really means, and how the breath can be a powerful tool for reconnection and release.

We talk about shame and the parts of ourselves we often try to hide - and how these darker spaces can actually hold the key to light, resilience, and healing. From stress in the gut or jaw to the conditioning we carry from childhood, this is a conversation about slowing down, listening to your body, and learning to transform what weighs us down into strength.

In this short episode, I talk about my personal experience with burnout - how it felt, and why it’s something so many of us go through, but shouldn’t have to.

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.
