There is one issue that spans all races, genders, religions, and affects all people. It is one that could unite us, yet it divides us. Liberals are trafficked. Conservatives are trafficked.

[:

[00:00:52] Meredith: plus are trafficked. Christians, schizophrenics, Muslims, Jews, gays, straights, children, adults, men, women, transgendered, black, brown, white, purple, everyone.

Hence the name, Transgender. Human trafficking. It affects all of us. The Sound of Freedom is America's number one movie right now, but many people haven't heard of it or know what it's about. the media either doesn't talk about it, Or references it as a conspiracy theory film, while posts about it are banned, as well as fundraisers.

Instead, you hear about the legend of a plastic doll, Barbie. A story about a manufactured inanimate object is getting more attention than an actual real hero. Tim Ballard is who The Sound of Freedom is based on. In a true story, who rescued children from rape, sexual abuse, and a life of slave labor from their traffickers.

There are shows about how to make a sex room on Netflix, yet trafficking children is shadow banned and is now a political issue. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

(vid) The angered reaction to the human trafficking issue from mainstream media labeling it as a conspiracy theory, anti liberal, and anti pedophile, reveals that there is a wound to defend.

The question is, what is the wound that these people are defending?

(you on camera)

[:

Our reactions are more telling of our truth than the marketing statements and arguments that we make. How would you feel if you had been raped, trafficked, and abused And someone called it an attack on pedophiles or a conspiracy theory?

They told me my pain with my period was a psychological issue, but they were more than happy to offer me a prescription to birth control or the puberty blocking lupron, which is what they give women transitioning to become men, by the way. So if it's all in my head, why would I need birth control or Lupron?

The answer to end all of these discussions is education. The truth will set you free. Once I educated myself, I was able to heal myself by learning what I did not once know. Once you really look for yourself. You become less likely to be manipulated by sales pitches and propaganda. This is where there is a real effort to keep people uneducated, looking somewhere else, playing with dolls.

Take a break from the marketing. Here are some facts: Fact: human trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Second only to drug trafficking, which it looks like it will probably surpass. Fact: children account for half of the victims of human trafficking that we know of.

Fact: sound of Freedom tells the real life story of Tim Ballard, a former U. S. government agent who decides to travel to Colombia to Free two Honduran siblings. Along the way he rescues 50 children from the clutches of criminal organizations. Just because you don't like the reality of something doesn't make it a conspiracy theory because something is inconvenient to face.

(you on camera) just as we are responsible for creating that environment of healthy boundaries within our lifestyle. If the egg hasn't chosen a sperm, meaning there is no pregnancy during that cycle, the corpus luteum That lining breaks down and is reabsorbed into the body with utmost efficiency. This points to the two most precious things worth protecting, your sacred sexuality and your childhood.

When we ignore our bodies and run ourselves over, we traffick ourselves. Human trafficking doesn't get to perpetuate in a world I live in. Instead of a percentage of my sales going to an art gallery or a museum,

I have chosen to give 13 percent of all profits to operation underground railroad, which is the organization Tim Ballard created every month to end child trafficking. When you purchase art or any of my services, you are helping this mission and our humanity. We traffick ourselves when we sell out on our integrity, when we ignore something we know is happening, when we say or do nothing in the face of tyranny. The more me I become, the more I will attract friends and the more I will be known by my enemies.

(vid) who you are is up to you. It isn't defined by what's between your legs or what's happened to you. It is defined by your actions, what you stand for and what you stand against.

I am making videos of select pieces of this series, but for the full, every phase journey, and the newest releases, subscribe for free on my website, to join my 13 year visual art journey. My experience healing myself of 17 years with endometriosis inspired me to actually live my art. So, I created this ongoing art series about it called Every Phase, which is what you're watching right now, where I create artwork that illustrates how I healed myself as I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle.

You've probably heard of the everyday projects like a sketch a day, and like the crypto art breaking sale of Beeple's Every Days, in which he created an image from start to finish, every day for 5, 000 days.

In April,:

The art illustrates the different brain and body chemistry of what's occurring during that particular phase and reveals how to biohack and leverage this energy in your life. Follow this vlog series by subscribing to this channel as I actually live the art within each phase. And if you prefer writing, check out my Every Phase blog. In addition to the original works, I have created all of the images in the series as $50 limited edition bite size acrylic art block collectibles. So at the end of 13 years, the entire collection can be enjoyed as a whole without completely taking over your entire house.

Speaking of living the art, this series is about way more than just healing. These videos, as well as the writing and art pieces discuss truth, freedom, our current healthcare and financial system, slavery. And the way out.

(add in AR video of cover of book+ resources vid then transition to podcast intro vid with clip of intro guest speaking)

[:

in addition to the book I also have an accompanying podcast that introduces some of the experts and practices that helped me achieve what I thought was impossible.

I kept the desire and I gave up the struggle, and my wish is for it to spread to all women dealing with endo, and all people in pain. Through my experience, I learned that all healing begins with being authentic, and that the truth really will set you free, once you decide to break the ice.

Thanks for listening.

About the Podcast

Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself
where science & spirituality intersect.
My name is Meredith Ochoa and I’m (not just) another f*#%ing artist. I faced my shit & healed myself after 17 years of debilitating endometriosis pain, and now I create artwork that helps others do the same.

This show explores how to heal yourself by telling the truth.
We discuss how to heal cancer, endometriosis, chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases, narcissistic abuse, female cycle syncing, hormonal nutrition, functional medicine, Ayurveda, Taoist Healing Love, Reiki, spirituality, sacred sexuality & mental health as well as the inconvenient truths of our modern health care system that keep these modalities hidden & falsely marketed so we’re left wondering why the hell no one knows about this.

I faced my own debilitating pain every month dealing with Endometriosis for over 17 years. After surgery, crossing over to the other side, and dying from the excruciating pain one too many times, I began to unravel all of the medical lies I had been told and educated myself on how women’s hormone’s actually work and I healed myself. I remember the first day I felt freedom, I could feel the shackles literally just fall off as I got present to the fact that I had minimal to no pain in my life with my intimacy, sex, and every month with my cycle.

What I learned through my experience is that all healing starts with being authentic (men AND women), which is why I encourage others to face all of their shit. And of course, I made (and continue to make) an ongoing art series (and VLOG) about it called Every Phase--'Live the art' with me as I create artwork that illustrates how I healed myself of endometriosis while I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle.

Even though I was lied to for years by countless doctors promoting big pharma, I was able to find experts who helped me achieve what I thought was impossible. I'm using this space to introduce some of them as well as these practices to you.

Through my art I am healed, and I heal others.

About your host

Profile picture for Meredith Ochoa

Meredith Ochoa

A true explorer and creative, Atlanta artist Meredith Ochoa began her visual arts journey in 2006 at 17 years old, after being a ballerina for 14 years, coming out of an eating disorder, and becoming fascinated with light and shadow– how one can only see the light because of the shadow and vice versa. This contrast showed up not only in her photography but in her life.

She started making her own pinhole cameras and began exploring the alchemy of the darkroom, so when she received a miraculous scholarship to SCAD, she was pretty upset about the digital 'takeover' within the photo world.

She decided to make a 'mockery' of digital photography--turning a scanner into a sort of 'large format' camera. This became an entire practice & technique within itself, and became the scanning process that she is known for today. The subject becomes the "negative" describing the subject digitally with a flattened focal plane.

This technique is depicted throughout her work and was the artistic beginning of her realization that all healing starts with being authentic. She describes her work with the statement…

Through my art I am healed, and I heal others.
