Episode 20 - The Diagnosis That Changed Everything: My Hashimoto’s Story (Part One)

from Rooted in the River

If you have ever felt exhausted, “off,” or like something just isn’t right in your body, but you didn’t know what it was, this episode is for you. In this heartfelt conversation, I share the first part of my Hashimoto’s journey: the years leading up to my diagnosis, the quiet signs I ignored, and the moment everything shifted. I open up about the patterns I carried for decades, over-giving, people-pleasing, pushing through exhaustion and how they showed up in my body long before I had a name for it. I also break down, in plain language, what hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s are, how they affect your energy, mood, and overall health, and why so many women go undiagnosed for years. This episode is about listening to your body, honoring your needs, and recognizing when it’s time to slow down. By listening, you will gain: ✨ Insight into the early signs of thyroid dysfunction and Hashimoto’s ✨ Understanding of how our habits, stress, and lifestyle impact autoimmune health ✨ Reflection questions to help you tune into what your body has been asking for ✨ A sense of connection and reassurance—you’re not alone I invite you to join me, sit for a moment, and explore your own body’s whispers alongside me. Together, we can step into awareness, self-care, and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to prioritize our wellbeing. Next week, I will share Part Two: my journey to feeling better and reclaiming my energy, and the practices that are helping me take control of my Hashimoto’s.
