The Labor of Choosing a Hysterectomy: Carrie

Send us Fan MailCarrie knows how bodies work. She's spent decades supporting women through some of their most vulnerable moments — and yet, nothing quite prepares you for becoming the patient yourself. In this episode, she joins Katie just two weeks after her hysterectomy to talk about the 30-year road to that operating table: the symptoms she managed, the decision she wrestled with, and the strange experience of knowing exactly what's happening to your body and still not having all the answers. Raw, real, and a little bit funny — this one's for anyone who's ever had to advocate hard for their own health while simultaneously being your own worst enemy in the process. This episode is best paired with a bowl of berry, coconut and rum punch served in cute vintage glasses.
