Episode Description
Have you ever wondered if mold was the reason for your chronic symptoms?
Maybe you tested positive. Maybe someone in a Facebook group swore it was the missing link. Maybe you're spending hours Googling “mold toxicity” and wondering if this is finally the answer for your bladder pain, fatigue, food sensitivities, or interstitial cystitis.
If that sounds familiar, this episode is going to hit home. I’m joined by nervous system coach Grace Secker for a deep dive into mold, medical fear spirals, and why so many people with chronic bladder issues end up wasting time, energy, and money chasing the wrong root cause. Grace shares her own story of going all in on mold protocols, what didn’t work, and the emotional work that actually moved the needle on her symptoms.
In the episode, we discuss:
Whether mold is actually behind bladder flares, urgency, or chronic IC symptoms
What it means when your mold test comes back positive (and why that’s not the full story)
How fear of mold, food, or infection can fuel nervous system dysregulation
Why "doing everything right" and still flaring doesn’t mean you’re broken
The deeper emotional patterns Grace had to shift to feel safe and symptom-free again
