About this listen

Are you tired of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your pain is "normal"? So was I. I’m Meredith Ochoa — ANOTHER F*#%ING ARTIST, photographer, author & generational cycle-breaker. After suffering for 17 years with excruciating endometriosis, I faced my shit & healed myself. Now, I create powerful art and conversations that help others do the same. Facing your shit & healing yourself is more than just a podcast, it is a movement. This show is a bold, unfiltered space where we explore the real root causes of chronic illness—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and talk about the alternative healing paths the mainstream medical system won’t. From hormone health, trauma recovery, and sacred sexuality to Reiki, Ayurveda, cycle syncing, Taoist healing, and functional medicine, we dive into the unconventional practices that actually work. 💥 If you’ve ever felt like there must be more to healing—there is. 💥 If you’re navigating chronic pain, chronic illness, endometriosis, autoimmune disease, health trauma— or if you have been gaslit by western medicine, this is your space. 💥 If you're a practitioner, healer, or wellness brand ready to be part of this healing revolution—we should talk. Each episode features raw truth, expert guests, plus stories behind the art series Every Phase, where I am 'living the art' as I visually document my cyclical healing process. All Healing starts with being authentic Through my art I am healed, and I heal others. 🎧 New episodes drop every third Wednesday of the month, with art biohacking & raw process talks in between.Copyright 2025 Meredith Ochoa Alternative & Complementary Medicine Art Hygiene & Healthy Living

    🖼️The art of this episode is spilling the tea & water-breaking.

    When the Water Breaks (30x45 Original, resin on panel) explores the courage to reclaim your rhythm, the brilliance of ovulation, and the ways cyclical living brings us closer to ourselves and to one another (both women AND men).

    I was inspired to create this work after photographing the birth of my friend’s son (which you can see photos of here). What struck me most was when she told me,

    "I love you so much, I'm so glad you were there. Not just because of the photos though, I'm glad you were there because you made me feel like I could do it."

    If you’ve ever wondered how your hormones could be your greatest ally, this one’s for you.

    The art of this episode is a reclamation.

    Christina and I dive deep into the fear of visibility, the silencing of women’s truth, and the power of reclaiming your voice, body, and wealth. Inspired by my ovulatory phase artwork, Breath of Shakti, this conversation lives at the intersection of womb wisdom, trauma recovery, and dark feminine energy.

  • 32. Fertility, PMS & PMDD with Ashley Rocha of Ladywell
    Jun 25 2025

    Are you a different person on or before your period? 😭

    💊Do you take 20 Advil a day or ignore the crazy signs your body is giving you during your period because you think, "who cares? I’m not trying to get pregnant anyway."

    If so, or if you know someone who lives through an exorcist experience during their cycle, this episode is for you!

    🩸So who am I and why did I decide to create this show?

    Well, after unraveling all of the medical & pharmaceutical lies I had been told about my endometriosis, I educated myself, and I was able to heal myself after 17 years of debilitating pain.

    🎨 My experience inspired me to actually live my art, so I created an ongoing art series about it called, Every Phase––where I create artwork that illustrates how I healed myself as I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle. Just look for the Every Phase VLOG episodes on the podcast as I recreate select pieces of the series as an animated mini-series. The artwork shows what's happening in the brain & the body during each phase and reveals how to biohack & leverage this energy in your life.


    I am actually living the art, so it's about more than just healing. The writing and art discuss truth, freedom & our current financial & healthcare system slavery–and the way out. Learn more by subscribing or visit anotherfingartist.com
