29. Prosper in the Year of the Snake w/ Austin Muhs

All the world’s a stage as we begin this 2025 year of the snake.

A stage with actors that can't keep up their costumes….literally

On last year’s Year of the Dragon Episode with Austin, the curtain began pulling back for everyone to face the inconvenient truths about our world, so actual healing can begin.

And this year, the Year of the Snake, the theatre may just explode, or better said, shed its skin, in the best way possible.

Be SURE to share BOTH of Austin’s Qigong Episodes as the lies of our big farma healthcare system are revealed & justice is served.

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 create artwork that illustrates how I healed myself as I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle. Just look for the Every Phase VLOG episodes on the podcast as I recreate select pieces of the series as an animated mini-series. The artwork shows what's happening in the brain & 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 or visit anotherfingartist.com

So all of that to say, even though I was lied to for years by doctors promoting 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 astrologer, numerologist, animal rescuer, veteran Tarot Card Reader & Qigong practitioner, Austin Muhs.

Austin’s spiritual quest began at 19 when his father died. This tremendous loss filled him with grief and led him down a negative land self-destructive life path. After immersing himself in the way of Psychology, Philosophy, and Spirituality he discovered Meditation and the Hermetic Arts and was guided out of the darkness that had befallen him.

Austin learned a valuable life lesson about how he could help himself. He realized that the only way to make life a rich, rewarding adventure was to help others. Astrology, Tarot, and Numerology offered him a new avenue that enriched his quest to make a positive difference in other people’s lives. This holistic approach gave him a thirst for self-improvement, led him to become a Tai Chi and Qigong practitioner, and instilled in him a deep love for nature.

All his life experiences and accomplishments gave him a personal philosophy: to make life rewarding he needed to do his part to make the world a better place and to make the world a better place he needed to help others because helping others was all about healing himself.

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.
