Description

Welcome to another fabulous episode of The Beautiful Bag Podcast with your host, LeeAnne Hayden. In this empowering episode, we dive into the impact of ostomy on body image and strategies for self-acceptance. Let's redefine beauty together!

Ostomy surgery saves lives but brings changes that affect self-image. Society's narrow beauty standards don't reflect our diverse human experience. Ostomy challenges norms, presenting an opportunity to redefine beauty.

Strategies for self-acceptance:

1. Knowledge is power: Learn about your condition, surgical procedure, and ostomy equipment. Visit www.leeannehayden.com for resources.
2. Seek support: Connect with support groups and online communities. Reach out to Leanne on Instagram (@leeannehayden), Facebook (@leeannehayden07), or LinkedIn (@leeannehayden).
3. Surround yourself with positive influences: Challenge societal standards, celebrate diversity, and share your story. Your voice matters!

Remember, your ostomy doesn't define you. Embrace your challenges, passions, and the beautiful person you are beyond your physical appearance. Self-acceptance is an ongoing adventure.
