Welcome back to HER Truth Revealed: Unraveling Our Midlife Era—the space where we get real, drop the perfection, and let our true selves show up. This episode is one of those that will stick with you long after it’s over. I sat down with Stephanie Groves, a woman whose journey through health challenges, misdiagnoses, and ultimately, self-empowerment, is nothing short of inspiring. From struggling with life-threatening health issues to discovering how to truly advocate for herself, Stephanie’s story is a reminder that our bodies are always speaking to us—if we’re willing to listen.

What started as a conversation about wellness quickly became a conversation about trusting yourself—because Stephanie’s path wasn’t always smooth, but it was hers. Her honesty and vulnerability about the healing process, both physical and emotional, opened a door I didn’t know I needed to walk through.

Stephanie’s experience highlights the critical importance of listening to our gut—whether it’s about the food we eat, the doctors we trust, or the way we advocate for our health. She knows the battle all too well: being dismissed by the medical world, told “it’s all in your head,” and still, somehow, managing to find the courage to keep going.

In this conversation, we talk about the emotional toll of medical gaslighting and how to overcome it, how to trust your instincts even when the world tells you otherwise, the power of finding the right specialist—and why sometimes that means pivoting from one provider to another, how hormone imbalances and gut health are intertwined—and why treating both is key, why self-advocacy is the most important thing you can do for your well-being, how hormone replacement therapy and peptides can make a world of difference when used right, and what it means to thrive—not just survive—after the age of 50.

Stephanie’s story is a masterclass in resilience and self-love. She’s fought hard for her health, and now, she’s sharing what she’s learned to help other women who might be struggling with the same issues. This episode is for the woman who feels like something is off but hasn’t found the answers she needs. It’s for the woman who’s been told her symptoms are in her head. It’s for the woman who’s done with just getting by—and is ready to thrive.

When I asked Stephanie what she’d tell her 25-year-old self, she said something that resonated deeply: “Trust your body. Listen to it. It knows more than you think it does.” This episode is for the woman who’s ready to break free from the narrative that aging means settling for less. It’s time to take control. It’s time to trust your body.
