107. From Endo Warrior to Acupuncturist: How Pain Led to Purpose

What happens when the thing that helps you heal becomes your calling?

In this episode of The Cycle, we’re joined by a special guest and dear friend Winne who shares her journey with endometriosis—and how acupuncture changed everything. After years of navigating chronic pain, burnout, and medical gaslighting, she found unexpected relief through Eastern medicine. That experience led her to become a licensed acupuncturist herself.

Together, we dive into:

Her personal story of living with endometriosis
What made acupuncture different from anything she tried before
How acupuncture works

How traditional Chinese medicine works with surgery

This episode is part story, part science, and full of heart. If you’ve ever been curious about acupuncture—or you’re searching for something that helps—this one’s for you.

💛 Healing is not linear. But sometimes, it brings you right back to yourself.
