What do PCOS and fibromyalgia have in common? More than you think. In this powerful episode, I sit down with fibromyalgia coach and advocate Tami Stackelhouse—host of the Fibromyalgia Podcast and executive producer of the award-winning documentary Invisible—to explore what happens when medicine stops asking questions and women start advocating for themselves. Tami shares her personal journey from daily migraines and dismissal by doctors to becoming a health coach who helps others reclaim their vitality. Her and I dig into the shocking overlap between PCOS and fibromyalgia, the shared experience of being unheard and misdiagnosed, and how shifting your mindset from “management” to empowerment can change everything. We also unpack how your personality style affects your healing journey—and why your brain, your habits, and even your inner saboteurs might be keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever felt like your body was the enemy, this episode is your invitation to shift that belief and become your body’s fiercest advocate.
