I've been embracing life as an Ostomate since 2015! My journey started 20 years ago back in 2005 when I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the age of 19. After nearly a decade of heavy medications and treatments, I chose to have surgery for a better quality of life. It’s been a wild ride, with multiple surgeries, a J-pouch that never really worked for me. But now I am on my fourth stoma, which has truly given me back the freedom I was searching for.
I’m passionate about sharing my journey and proving that life with an ostomy can be full, vibrant, and empowering. Sure, there are tough days, but they don’t define who I am 💜.
