S5 Ep. 11: “From Pain to Purpose: CJ’s Journey with Endometriosis, Infertility, and Hope”

Today on The Hormone Genius Podcast, we welcome a very special guest—Christa “CJ” Johnston, a listener whose life was forever changed by hearing our very own episode on endometriosis. That one episode gave her the language and insight she needed to recognize her symptoms, pursue answers, and ultimately receive a diagnosis that reshaped her path toward healing. In this heartfelt conversation, CJ opens up about her ongoing journey with endometriosis and infertility. She offers a vulnerable and inspiring look into what it means to wrestle with suffering while still clinging to growth, grace, and hope. This episode is a powerful reminder of how knowledge, community, and faith can equip women to advocate for their bodies and find meaning even in the hardest moments. CJ lives in Minnesota with her husband and their spirited golden doodle. She teaches multilingual elementary students by day and works as a hormone coach certified through the Fiat Institute in her spare time. Her mission? To help women reconnect with the beauty of their bodies and the dignity of their design—one conversation at a time. 📩 To learn more about coaching with CJ, email: info@dignityempowered.com 🎧 Listen to the episode that changed CJ’s life: Endometriosis Episode 🌸 Thank you to today’s sponsor: Pearl & Thistle!
