Hey, I’m Mallory —
Founder of The Audacious Patient, Acupuncturist of 12 years, and long-time system-scrambler. After 15+ years of navigating medical bills, insurance chaos, and chronic pain myself, I got tired of watching good people get steamrolled by a system designed to confuse and overwhelm. So I started turning what I’ve learned into tools, scripts, and no-BS resources to help others do what I’ve done: ask better questions, cut outrageous bills, and take their power back. If you’ve ever felt lost, gaslit, or just plain over it—I built this for you.
Product Feature:
The Out-of-Pocket Playbook

Because winging it in the ER is not a strategy.
Get the tips, scripts, and savvy moves you wish you had sooner.
👉 Grab it for $18 in the shop—your wallet will thank you.
Driven by values
The Audacious Patient isn’t just a resource—it’s a rebellion against confusion, silence, and shame in healthcare. Here’s what drives everything I create:
🧡 Clarity over jargon.
You shouldn’t need a second career in insurance to understand your own bills. I break it down, no fluff, no gatekeeping.
🧡 Power through knowledge.
When you know your rights and your options, you stop feeling helpless—and start getting results.
🧡 Compassion without condescension.
You’re smart. You’re capable. You’re just up against a system that was built to overwhelm you. I meet you with real talk, not lectures.
🧡 Practical help > performative “awareness.”
You don’t need sympathy—you need tools that actually work. Everything here is designed to help you take action.
🧡 Audacity is survival. Speaking up isn’t rude. Asking questions isn’t a burden. Advocating for yourself isn’t too much. It’s necessary—and I’ll help you do it.
“Excellent step-by-step guide, with a ton of easy to use tool(s) for getting the care you deserve. Organized in a format that is simple to scan, with much-needed humor throughout. These tools work!
I follow the creator on Instagram and after using her IG examples to navigate healthcare in new ways successfully, I am a big fan.
As a person who used to just avoid dealing and pay the cost, this, and the other guide have become my constant companions when dealing with the healthcare situation. Very highly recommended.”

“HOLY SMOKES WHAT A BREADTH OF INFO!!!!
I knew this was going to be amazing but I was blown away by how much is in here. This may well be the best resource I’ve ever seen! Like, this should be on the Surgeon General’s website, as the official “how to navigate healthcare in the US.
Every time I had a question, it was answered in one or two modules – loved that!!”
