Episode #16 What Happens When You Finally Listen to Your Body? Kylie’s Journey of Misdiagnosis & Healing

What happens when you're dismissed by doctors, disconnected from your body, and drowning in symptoms that don’t make sense?

In this powerful and courageous conversation, Dr. Anthea Todd is joined by psychologist and trauma therapist Kylie Madigan, who shares her lifelong journey with sexual trauma, PCOS, endometriosis, cysts, fibroids, acne, mood swings—and the years of being ignored, misdiagnosed, and told to just “try harder.”

Through raw stories, expert insight, and decades of lived experience, Kylie reveals what it really means to reclaim your body, advocate for yourself, and finally feel safe enough to trust what your body has been saying all along.

You’ll Hear About:

• The early trauma that shaped Kylie’s reproductive health

• How shame, silence, and symptoms are deeply connected

• The emotional weight of not being believed by medical professionals

• When Kylie finally said, “No more”—and started advocating for herself

• What PCOS, endo, fibroids, and acne were trying to tell her

• Why joy, fun, and roller skating became part of her healing

• The power of parts work, intuition, and knowing you’re not broken

• A radical reminder: “Your body is always 10 steps ahead of your mind.”

“You listen to your gut—and you advocate for yourself like you would for someone you love.” — Kylie
