EP #31: The Truth About Labels: How Diagnosis Shapes (or Sabotages) Your Health
A diagnosis can change everything, but is it always for the better?
In this episode, Faye and Tarryn dive deep into the complex world of health diagnoses and unpack the powerful impact they can have on your mindset, identity, and overall wellbeing. Whether it’s PCOS, endometriosis, ADHD, anxiety, or any other “label,” we ask the big questions:
- Is this diagnosis helping you move forward or holding you back?
- Are you using it to access the right support… or hiding behind it like a security blanket?
- Have you unknowingly made it part of your identity?
From the medical system’s quick-fix mentality, to the shame, fear, and confusion many women face after getting diagnosed, this episode challenges you to rethink what labels really mean for your health.
You’ll hear real stories from clients, personal examples from Faye and Tarryn, and mindset shifts to help you reclaim your power, confidence and clarity, no matter what diagnosis you’re living with (or chasing).
In this episode, we cover:
- When a diagnosis gives you clarity… and when it creates chaos
- Identity and labels: how your words shape your experience
- Secondary gains and the sneaky comfort of staying stuck
- Why your health issues are multifactorial — not just one label
- What to ask yourself before seeking a diagnosis
This one’s a must-listen if you’ve ever felt boxed in by a diagnosis, or are ready to take back control of your health story 💥
