In this episode, Kyra and I dive into her incredible journey of resilience, grit and determination.  She opens up about her experience with scoliosis, from diagnosis to undergoing spinal fusion surgery --  a process that tested both her body and her spirit. Despite the physical and emotional hurdles, Kyra didn't just recover -- she rose higher, quite literally.  Today, she thrives as a professional climber, scaling walls and pushing boundaries that many thought impossible after such a major surgery. Her story is an inspiring remind that limitations are often only what we allow them to be. Whether you're navigating your own health challenges or simply love stories of perseverance, this conversation will leave you uplifted and empowered.

Kyra is a 28 year old professional climber and Olympian based out of Salt Lake City, UT. Kyra was one of 4 athletes from the US to compete in Sport Climbing’s debut at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She’s motivated by goals in both national and international competitions as well as outdoor climbing. She’s known for her regimented training routine and explosive style on the wall. Outside of climbing, Kyra loves to play beach volleyball, do puzzles, hang with her two cats, and find new specialty coffee shops.

In this episode, Caroline and I dive deep into the heart of her story, exploring the powerful why behind her book, her personal scoliosis journey, and what fuels her ongoing passion for scoliosis awareness and advocacy.

Caroline opens up about the challenges and triumphs she faced along the way,  from the moment of her diagnosis to life after spinal fusion surgery. We explore how her experiences shaped not only her perspective on self-love and resilience but also inspired her to turn her journey into a source of hope and empowerment for others.

We also discuss:

~ The emotional and physical realities of living with scoliosis

~ The importance of building community and visibility for scoliosis warriors

~ What keeps her motivated to share her story and uplift others

Whether you live with scoliosis, know someone who does, or simply appreciate stories of courage, self-acceptance, and purpose, this conversation will leave you inspired.

Caroline Bell is a scoliosis warrior. She was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 15, wore a back brace, and had spinal fusion surgery at age 17. Like so many others before her, she had to learn every scoliosis lesson “the hard way.” After years of being mad at her painful back, she decided to learn how to work with it, not against it. This led to an intense journey of discovery, self-acceptance, and connection with the vibrant scoliosis community. It inspired her to create a resource that would resonate with readers, provide the answers they need in plain language, and support them through their own journey. She hopes her book will increase awareness, launch discussions, boost research, and normalize scoliosis.

In this heartfelt and hopeful conversation, Meg and I dive into what it really looks like to live with a spinal fusion long-term.  We share decades of lived experience, the lessons we've learned, and the powerful ways we're staying strong, energized, and pain-aware -- not pain-ruled. 

Tune in as we explore: 

• Our favorite tips and tricks for staying mobile and energized
• How to prevent further progression and stay proactive with your healt
• Ways to adapt to the physical shifts that come with age and scoliosis
• And how we've turned limitations into strength and self-love 

Whether you're newly diagnosed, post-op, or just seeking support, this on'es for you. 

Meg Ossorio’s scoliosis was discovered when she caught cat scratch fever. She
underwent a spinal fusion from T2 – L2 with Harrington Rod instrumentation in 1979, and wore a plaster cast for nine months. Many years later, Meg graduated from the Desert Institute of the Healing Arts in Tucson, AZ and practiced massage therapy for seven years. Her passion for holistic health led her to explore various types of alternative healing modalities in her quest for living well with a spinal fusion. Her new passion is sound healing, and Meg is currently working on her certification in this modality.

In this episode, Laura and I dive deep into the concept of the "good girl" and explore how this identity -- often rooted in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the desire for external validation -- can quietly sabotage our dreams and authenticity. We unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways the "good girl syndrome" shows up in our lives, from overcommitting and staying silent to avoiding conflict and constantly seeking approval. Together, we define common behaviors and beliefs associated with this pattern and discuss how it can hold us back from stepping into our full power. Most importantly, we share practical tools and mindset shifts to help break free from these limiting patterns and start living a life that's aligned with your truth -- not just what's expected of you.

Laura Davison is the Good Girl Syndrome Coach™, you never knew you needed until now. For 30 years, she wore the "Good Girl" badge with pride, believing it was the key to being liked, included, and accepted. But over time, she came to realize that the very traits she thought were serving her were actually holding her back. Her journey from people-pleasing and perfectionism to authenticity and empowerment is what now fuels her mission to help others break free from the limitations of the Good Girl Syndrome and reclaim their voice, power, and joy.

In this episode, we meet Jac, a.k.a. The Twisted Wanderer.  We dive into her personal journey with scoliosis and overcoming adversity. 

Jac is a 34-year-old scoliosis and spinal fusion warrior who turned her personal challenges into a platform for connection and advocacy. Diagnosed with scoliosis at 13 and undergoing spinal fusion at 25, she spent years navigating chronic pain, misinformation, and isolation—without a roadmap or community.

In 2023, Jac launched The Twisted Wanderer to fill the gap she once felt—offering support, resources, and real talk for adults and young adults living with scoliosis, spinal fusion, and invisible disabilities. Her mission is to break the stigma around chronic pain, mental health, and disability while embracing the healing journey in real time.

Through vulnerability, advocacy, and self-acceptance, Jac is helping others feel seen on their own twisted paths.

The Twisted Wanderer is more than a brand — it’s a movement rooted in resilience, vulnerability, and authentic storytelling. We exist to amplify the voices of those living with scoliosis, spinal fusion, and chronic pain, while honoring the power of creativity, connection, and healing.

Through honest conversations, poetic expression, content, and powerful community-building, we aim to reshape how the world views curved spines and invisible battles. We are here to break the silence, dismantle myths, and create safe spaces where people feel seen, supported, and strong — in every curve, scar, and story.

In this episode, Mark and I explore how hynposis is a natural state of focused awareness that we all experience in everyday life -- like getting lost in a good book or zoning out on a drive.  As a healing tool, hypnosis helps quiet the conscious mind and access the subconscious where deep-rooted patterns, emotions, and beliefs reside.   By working with the subconscious, hypnosis can support emotional release, behavior change, pain management, and overall well-being, making it a gentle yet powerful path to healing and personal transformation. 

Mark Kemp, a professional Hypnotherapist, certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists. Born and raised in Connecticut, he now calls Georgia his home. He is the father of two and passionate about Hypnosis.

His journey with hypnosis began three years ago to combat chronic pain from Cerebral Palsy, and as a Licensed Optician he spends many hours on his feet causing him extreme pain. The pain would often reach an 8, on the 1-10 pain scale. As he sought a non-habit-forming, holistic approach to pain management, he stumbled upon hypnosis which decreased his discomfort substantially after each session. 

He learned the science of hypnosis to share its transforming qualities with others. In both his chosen professions he is using my learned skills to assist people in making positive health choices. It is his deep-rooted desire to aid his clients in discovering and implementing positive lifestyle changes on a mental, physical and emotional level.

I also dive into the practices that are helping me feel more balanced and empowered, including nutrition, movement, herbal support, nervous system regulation, and deep self-compassion.
