I’ve spent years creating things, then abandoning them the moment they stopped feeling aligned. The Fibroid Laboratory was one of those projects. I built the page, wrote one article, and then felt nothing. At the time I didn’t understand why I kept doing this. Now I do.

A few months ago, I learned my human design: 5/1 Manifesting Generator. Suddenly everything made sense, the constant pivoting, the bursts of creation, the abrupt endings. It was validating to finally understand my own patterns.

This first episode is simply me sharing who I am, what I do, and why I do it.

Where This All Began

Over 20 years ago, I studied nutritional therapy because I needed answers for myself. I was in my early twenties, dealing with severe fibroids, heavy bleeding from day one of my period, and a long list of health issues I assumed were just part of getting older. They weren’t.

Looking back now, the timeline is painfully clear.

If you’ve read my articles on Beyond Fibroids, you know they’re scientific, structured, and focused on causes, mechanisms, and physiology. But there’s something I’ve been hiding for a long time:

I am not perfectly healed.

No one in the wellness industry is. Anyone who presents themselves as fully healed is lying. Healing is ongoing. It evolves as we evolve.

And I realised that if I kept pretending to be the polished expert, I’d be doing you and myself a disservice.

Why This Podcast Exists

I created the Fibroid Laboratory to go deep into data, bioresonance scans, oestrogen dominance, metabolic health — all the things I love. But the truth is, there’s already more than enough information out there. Women don’t need more data. They need connection, clarity, and someone who’s willing to tell the truth.

So the Lab hasn’t disappeared. It’s simply evolved into something more human, more honest, more lived.

I’m still obsessed with the science. That will never change. But this podcast is where I’ll take a diagnostic look at what’s happening to women’s bodies — especially Black women’s bodies — through a lens that includes physiology, stress, boundaries, identity, and the emotional and spiritual layers we’re never encouraged to talk about.

We’ve been conditioned to carry the world on our shoulders. I’ve been doing exactly that for the last three years, and it has taken a toll I can’t ignore. My bioresonance scans show it clearly. Chronic stress leaves receipts.

I’ll be sharing those receipts with you.

A Conversation That Sparked Everything

Last night, my partner and I were talking. He watches these short videos of women crying in their cars — women who appear to “have it all” but feel deeply dissatisfied. He couldn’t understand why.

His question pulled up memories from my own life. I remembered being in a long-term relationship in my twenties. Everything looked fine on the outside, but inside I felt a growing discomfort I couldn’t name. It built for months until I couldn’t ignore it. My intuition was relentless: you need to leave.

That same inner pressure — that same intuitive pull — is what I’ve been feeling again these last few years. A shift. A calling. A discomfort that refuses to be silenced.

I know what it is now. I know why it’s happening. And I’ll be sharing that with you too.

Life, Purpose, and the Pause I Didn’t Choose

My purpose hasn’t disappeared. It’s just been slowed down because I’ve stepped into the role of full‑time carer for my mum. If you’ve ever been a carer, you know how consuming it is. I had to put the brakes on everything — talks, projects, momentum. My capacity shrank overnight.

It has affected my health in ways I never expected.

And that’s exactly why this podcast matters. Because healing isn’t linear. Life isn’t linear. And women — especially Black women — are carrying far more than anyone acknowledges.

What You Can Expect

This podcast won’t be daily, despite the name. It will be real, unscripted, and grounded in lived experience. I’ll be talking about:

• what’s happening to women’s bodies

• the emotional and energetic layers of fibroids

• hysterectomies and what they mean for us as women

• boundaries, stress, obligation, and identity

• the truth behind chronic symptoms

• my own scans, my own journey, my own receipts

I’m here for women who want to heal — not women who want to be comforted into staying the same.

If you want truth, clarity, and someone who won’t hold back, this is for you.

If you prefer not to be challenged, then this won’t be the space for you.

The Gateway

Fibroids have become the gateway to who I truly am. That may not make sense yet, but it will. Everything I’ve lived, everything I’ve studied, everything I’ve endured — it all connects.

This first episode is simply the beginning.

Until the next one.
