The Healing Chronicles Podcast

→ Two women. One mission: Healing with heart. We are Katie & Amanda and we have both reversed our Inflammatory Bowel Disease after years of pain, struggle and frustration.

Our mission is to empower people on their journey to improved health by breaking down complex topics like gut health, trauma recovery, and mindset into actionable steps. We believe in healing both the mind and body through education, empathy, and sustainable change.

Our goal is to create a space where people feel supported, informed, and inspired to take control of their health.

Whether you’re healing your gut, managing chronic illness or simply seeking a healthier, more balanced life, you’re in the right place.
