Show Notes
Have you ever felt that sudden spike of fear — what if this time it’s a real infection?
If you’ve been on a mind-body healing journey and experienced this worry, this episode is for you.
Rachel shares her personal experience navigating infection fears (especially around UTIs) and the framework she now teaches clients for handling those moments with clarity and self-trust instead of panic.
You’ll learn how to tell when to seek medical care, how to support your nervous system (no matter what’s going on), and how to stay grounded in a mind-body approach — even when there’s a possibility of a true infection.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why the fear of a true infection can feel so traumatic — especially if your symptoms started after one
How to tell the difference between a neuroplastic flare-up and a possible infection
Why infections and mind-body healing are not mutually exclusive
The 4-step process for navigating infection fears
Why nervous system regulation supports your immune system and can reduce true infections over time
Key Takeaway:
A true infection doesn’t mean you’re going backward. It doesn’t invalidate your progress or your mind-body approach. You can handle it, care for your body, and continue healing — with calm, clarity, and self-trust.

What can you do when a pain flare is loud, uncomfortable, and not something you can make stop in the moment? A building fire alarm kept going off for two weeks, sometimes during coaching calls and sometimes in the middle of the night. The experience reminded me of what it was like to live with chronic pelvic pain: knowing what was happening didn’t make the sensations disappear, and I couldn’t always change the situation right away. In this episode, I share how I supported myself through those moments, from putting in earbuds so I could keep coaching to noticing the comfort of my bed while I waited for the alarm to turn off. We talk about acknowledging discomfort without pretending it isn’t there, choosing what might support you, and considering whether you want to take a values-aligned action or rest. There’s no right or wrong choice. For me, showing up for the things I cared about, even when my symptoms were intense, supported my sense of agency. Your choice may look different. The invitation is to ask what you need and how you want to spend the time while you wait for the flare to pass. In this episode: Why knowing a symptom is a false alarm doesn’t always make the discomfort go away
If you've ever frozen on the exam table, or spent the drive home replaying everything you wish you'd said, this episode is for you. For so many of us with chronic pelvic pain, gynecologist visits are part of the recovery journey. And they can be really hard, both physically and emotionally. Many providers aren't trained in trauma-informed care or familiar with conditions like vaginismus and vulvodynia, which means it often falls on us to speak up for what we need. In this episode, I'm sharing the things I didn't know I could ask for when I was healing, so you can walk into your next appointment feeling more prepared and a little more in control. In this episode: Why telling your provider about pain with penetration out loud matters (even if it's already on your intake form)
When I was living with chronic pelvic pain, I believed that if I had symptoms, I was suffering. It felt impossible to enjoy my life or loosen my urgency to heal while pain was still there. Because I felt like I was always suffering.
Do you have to quit your job, leave your relationship, move, or completely restructure your life in order to heal?
Even though no one can do the healing work for you, that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.
