How do you rebuild confidence after stoma surgery? What does personal style look like now? And how do you feel comfortable in your body again?
In this episode, Amy (@ibdwarriorprincess) joins us for an honest conversation about fashion, body confidence, and self-love while living with a stoma. From getting dressed after surgery to showing up confidently at events, in the gym, or on holiday, she shares how she’s redefined confidence on her own terms.
We also get into the emotional side — navigating negative self-talk and the pressure of comparison culture.
