In this episode of Her Kind of Brave:

Co-host Kellie Johnson opens up about her journey through stage four endometriosis, six miscarriages, a partial molar pregnancy, and the terror of almost losing her newborn daughter to sepsis. She shares how those experiences shaped the creation of the Kosi heat pack and led her all the way to a deal on Shark Tank, even while parenting a toddler and managing chronic pain.

Kellie and Chloe talk about medical gaslighting, advocating for yourself and your baby, the guilt of “not coping,” the pressure to hustle in business culture, and the tug-of-war between scaling a brand and soaking up a fleeting season of motherhood. This is a grounding, honest conversation for women navigating endo, infertility, birth trauma, burnout, or the quiet grief of a body that won’t behave.

Guest bio:

Kellie Johnson is the co-host of Her Kind of Brave and the founder of Kosi, a 360° wearable heat pack created from her own lived experience with stage four endometriosis. A mum, business owner and endo warrior, she’s walked through six miscarriages, birth trauma and chronic pain, and now uses her story to help women feel seen, supported and a little less alone.
