The Skin Condition That Took Over My Life: My Eczema Healing Journey & What It Taught Me (SOLO Episode)

EP 01. In this vulnerable first episode of Well Done, I share the raw truth behind my decades-long struggle with eczema and the health crisis that changed everything—topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). From a steroid spiral to postpartum skin trauma, I reveal how my mind, body, and identity broke down—and how I slowly, intentionally rebuilt them. From almost losing myself in motherhood, and facing a chronic illness to rebuilding my wellness from the inside out, I reflect on what it really means to heal. If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you or you’re drowning in wellness advice but still feeling lost, this episode will meet you where you are.

What You'll Learn:

• How inflammation could be triggered by emotional trauma, stress, or pregnancy
• Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW), and how to recognize early signs
• How mindset shifts can have a big impact on physical healing
• The dangers of long-term steroid use for chronic skin conditions like eczema
• What holistic healing looks like beyond diet and skincare
• Why so many people confuse managing symptoms with actual healing
