19. Intro to Narcissism with Phoenix Gould

The mask is dropping today in this special 2-part narcissism episode, as we unravel this topic with two of the top narcissism experts over the next 2 weeks. 

People ask me, what’s the #1 thing you did to heal from endometriosis, or what made the most impact?

And I tell them: The thing that accelerated my healing faster than anything else was facing the truth about my relationships & going no contact with the narcissists in my family & in my life.  This was the very critical tip of the iceberg, so if you’d like to hear more, this episode is for you!


Before we dive in, thank you for having the bravery to face your shit and heal yourself.

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 powerfully illustrate how I healed myself as I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle. The artwork shows what's happening in the brain and 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 at meredithochoa.com

So all of that to say, even though I was lied to for years by big pharma, I was able to find experts who helped me achieve the impossible. This space introduces them to you.

Today we are chatting with CTI and ICF-certified professional personal coach, Phoenix Gould.

Phoenix is helping both women and men to take back their power by dealing with and healing from the narcissist. She is helping those stuck in a trauma bond to finally be free.

Phoenix creates learning from everything. She has a gift for finding the essence of what is keeping people from living their vision, and intuitively guides her clients to deeply experience who they are at the core. For clients willing to take this deep dive, it is a transformative encounter from which the next step to achieve their goal becomes clear. Phoenix has no fear of the darkest, most challenging places a client may need to explore to find their way forward.

In her spare time, she loves to travel the world, albeit with questionable navigation skills. She is equally terrified and fascinated with those challenges which stretch her out of her comfort zone. There is nothing that makes her feel more ecstatic or alive than overcoming those fears. She will never say “no” to dancing the Tango Argentino (nor any other dance for that matter). Phoenix lives in the middle of nowhere, where she can be found sitting with trees and walking the fields, or writing her book “Sacred Housekeeping”.

About the Podcast

Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself
Where art, truth, and healing collide.
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 help others heal too.
🎧 New episodes drop every third Wednesday of the month, with art biohacking & raw process talks in between.

About your host

Profile picture for Meredith Ochoa

Meredith Ochoa

Meredith Ochoa is ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST—a former ballerina turned mixed media artist, author, photographer, and generational cycle-breaker who turned 17 years of excruciating endometriosis into a revolutionary body of healing artwork.

Her journey started in the shadows—recovering from an eating disorder, building pinhole cameras by hand, and falling in love with the alchemy of the darkroom. When digital photography took over, she challenged the movement by turning a scanner into a large-format camera—flattening depth to make the subject the negative. This integration of old‑world photography principles with new‑world tech became her signature technique, and the way she started revealing the stories our bodies keep.

But it wasn’t until she experienced a series of near-death menstrual experiences that the real unraveling began. After years of being dismissed by doctors, pumped with medications, hormones, and told “it’s all in your head,” Meredith took her healing into her own hands—she studied the infradian rhythm, dismantled medical lies, and healed herself of a disease the system said was incurable.

That liberation sparked Every Phase—a 13‑year art project (2021‑2033) creating a piece for every hormonal phase—Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal & Menstrual.
The series is a moving blueprint for anyone learning to alchemize biology into fuel and biohack with art, whether their battle is endo or a heartbreak no scan can see.

Her work wages a visual war on medical gaslighting, inviting viewers to face their own contradictions: shadow and light, pain and power. Each piece is a mirror—and a key—for anyone told “it’s all in your head.”

Why does she make art?
Because images can slip past the gatekeepers of logic and land directly in the bloodstream.
Because authenticity is the first medicine.
Because living a lie almost killed her—and creation keeps her honest.
Because pain is power waiting to be translated, if you’re willing to face your shit.
