In this episode - a woman in her thirties shares her incredible life threatening battle with bowel disease. She opens up about what scares her about living with a body that has a chronic illness, how it has shaped a unique perspective on life + gifted her self-awareness in major relationships. We hear about the stigma that comes with having a ileostomy bag + how it actually was the start of a new life for this woman - gifting her a deep self-awareness known to few... regretful moments of youth, relationships, judgements + how asking for help can actually be your biggest superpower are just a few other topics that come through here too.
Never one to shy away from normalising normal, Libby asks her about hormones + body image - rounding out the conversation with a riff on forming adult female friendships + the loneliness the 'woman who has it all' may be feeling... this truly is a thought provoking conversation about all things life, love + loss.
