From dangerously low blood pressure to terrifying spikes.From unexplained right-side pain to losing twenty pounds in four days.From January to October, she found herself in the emergency room 52 times — begging to be heard. Doctors said the tests were “normal.”They said it was stress.Anxiety.Menopause.Anything but the truth. In this raw and deeply personal first episode of Mama Never Told Me, Errica shares what it’s like to be trapped inside a body that feels like it’s failing — while the medical system tells you nothing is wrong. She takes listeners through the fear, the dismissal, the exhaustion of being passed from specialist to specialist… and the moment when one doctor finally listened. This episode isn’t about diagnosis.It’s about intuition.It’s about self-trust.And it’s about what happens when women are taught to doubt their bodies before they’re taught to listen. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unheard, or alone in your health journey — this episode is for you. 🎧 Next Episode Tease:In Episode 2, Errica shares another woman’s anonymous story — one where support made all the difference — and then reveals how her own marriage nearly broke before it began to heal.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mama-never-told-me--6837086/support.Mama Never Told Me is a gentle, honest podcast for women navigating the physical, emotional, and life changes no one prepared us for.
