Connect with Laura

What happens when you know something is wrong with your body, but no one can give you answers? When your symptoms are dismissed or brushed aside, and you’re left searching for clarity and healing on your own? In this powerful episode of It’s Your Story to Tell, host Megan Babcock sits down with Laura Alessio to explore her years-long battle with chronic symptoms—vertigo, fatigue, confusion—and her relentless journey to uncover what was truly going on beneath the surface. Laura’s story is one of deep frustration, inner resilience, and ultimately, breakthrough.

After countless visits to doctors, unanswered questions, and a body that kept screaming for help, Laura finally found the name for what she was battling: Hashimoto’s. But this episode isn’t just about receiving a diagnosis—it’s about what happens after. The moment when you realize healing doesn’t come in a single answer, but in a series of choices: to advocate, to shift, to trust your intuition, and to discover new tools that support your body, mind, and spirit.

Megan and Laura talk about everything from the early red flags and emotional toll of being dismissed by the medical system, to the overwhelm of lifestyle changes and the surprising ways yoga and mindfulness became lifelines. Together, they unpack what it means to find strength in the unknown and to keep going even when the path forward feels daunting.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your health journey, unheard by professionals, or overwhelmed by the idea of starting over—this conversation will remind you that you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you’re not without hope.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where Laura shares how her personal journey led to purpose—helping others find healing through coaching and holistic wellness. You won’t want to miss it.
