OK, so a quick confession: you might notice my audio sounds like I’m reporting live from inside a tin can… That’s on me. Wrong mic, right intention. Please enjoy the real and raw fabulously f*d up recording — it’s part of today’s charm. 😅

Before we get into it, I also want to give a huge thank-you to Michelle Mechem of Historic Living / Roost Realty for taking my listener survey. Michelle, I see you, I appreciate you — and if you’re dreaming about living beautifully in Savannah, go check out LiveInSavannah.com or find her on Instagram @LiveInSavannah.

Today I’m joined by Allie Chandler, founder of Upsell Health, and one of the sharpest minds I know at the intersection of healing and marketing. Allie helps functional medicine practitioners and wellness brands grow without selling their soul — translating deep, transformative work into messaging that actually connects and converts.

We talk about empathy-led marketing, the courage to be disliked, and what it really means to sell from integrity — especially when your work is about healing, and not scaling numbers.

Also, completely unrelated but very important: If you can, please buy silver. I said what I said.

Let’s go.

👉 I am ridiculously excited to hear from you.

Take my listener survey and get a personal shoutout on the podcast. I want to honor the people who make this show what it is.

🖼️This episode features Illusion as the Artwork of Truth.

Illusion is the undercover agent of truth that wants to be unmasked. Living at the edge where illusion falls away and clarity sharpens, like the luteal phase itself, this piece invites us to let go, unmask, and become the ripple that makes the wave. Check it out here.

The best marketing strategy? Telling the truth. Your truth is your success.

I'm sharing why I left Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and TikTok — and what I’m doing instead: reading, creating, and focusing on meaningful work. I dive into the books that transformed my life, art, and healing, including: The Ultimate Coach, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, In the FLO, WomanCode, and The Artist’s Way.

Our time and energy are the only things we truly own — and I’m reclaiming mine.

About the Podcast

Tired of being dismissed or told your pain is “normal”? So was I.

I’m Meredith Ochoa—ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST, photographer, author & generational cycle‑breaker. After 17 years of endometriosis I faced my shit, healed myself, and turned the journey into art.

🩸 Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself is a movement + a podcast: Raw talks on healing chronic pain, hormones, trauma, endo, autoimmune disease and...

 If you've ever gone to the emergency room begging to be prescribed Loratab or Oxycodone, or if you've ever gone painkiller drug dealer shopping  just to not have pain on your period, this episode is for you.

OhmBody's technology helps the body remember what safety feels like using gentle neurostimulation to calm the nervous system and reconnect you to your own rhythm. It's not about numbing pain. It is about retraining your body to trust itself again.

In this conversation we're going deep into opioids, trauma, blood loss, and the nervous system. And what happens when we stop overriding our biology and we actually start listening to it.

Amy Gaston drives strategic growth and brand visibility at OhmBody. Leading partnerships, advocacy, and public relations. While serving as the company's public face, a proven entrepreneur and former director of experiential marketing at Magnolia, she brings extensive experience in building businesses, revitalizing event strategies post COVID and developing marketing campaigns that elevate brand engagement across sectors outside of work. She fuels her competitive spirit on the tennis court, supports her community as a nonprofit board member, and explores the world with her husband.

🖼️The art of this episode is a crossroads.

Created with Musou Black Paint—one of the darkest substances on Earth—this work lives between ovulation and the luteal phase, and between Leo’s golden fire, Virgo’s refining eye, and Libra’s gentle balance.

Born from a season of grief not for what happened, but for what never did, it’s a visual meditation on shadow, release, and rebirth.

In this episode with OhmBody, we explore how the body becomes our greatest teacher—transmuting pain into presence, and darkness into creation.
