Episode 65: Healing Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All: Danielle Pashko’s Story

Danielle Pashko has been to hell and back—and made a wellness career out of it. From childhood cancer to thyroid disease to a crushing diagnosis that changed everything, Danielle’s story is equal parts heartbreak and healing. In this episode of Positively Altered, she opens up about navigating misdiagnosis, trusting your intuition, and rejecting the “just manage it” mentality. She’s bold, she’s brainy, and she’s calling B.S. on one-size-fits-all wellness advice. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors or defeated by your diagnosis, Danielle’s story will empower you to demand better—and live well on your own terms.
