Amy Kurtz sits down with Miesha Tate for a powerful conversation on chronic illness, Lyme disease, nervous system regulation, and the emotional toll of spending years searching for answers. Amy opens up about being medically gaslit before finally being diagnosed with late-stage neurological Lyme disease, while Miesha shares her own experiences with hormones, overtraining, and learning to work with her body instead of against it. Together, they dive into women’s health, survival mode, anxiety, resilience, and the importance of slowing down, trusting your intuition, and reconnecting with yourself in order to truly heal.
