2020 Purple Push-up Challenge

• Day 15 - IBD Timing + Slight Mental Breakdown

    16 May 2020

  

  I was going to cut this video up then post it but I chose to keep it raw, to show how foggy your thinking can get when dealing with Crohn’s. Enjoy 😊

  Seriously though, I’m so proud that I’ve made it to day 15. I’ve received so much amazing feedback and that was my goal, to start a conversation and spread awareness about IBD. I’m so excited to see how much further I can take this 🤩

• Day 4 - @machinegunkitty_ interview

    15 May 2020

  

  Today on the Live Steam I had the pleasure of talking to @machinegunkitty aka Sam who is an Ulcerative Colitis Warrior, Ostomate, Badass and one of the most hilariously honest IBD fighters I know. I ask Sam about her IBD journey which she has tackled head-on with numerous amounts of strength and perseverance. We also go into how we communicate to others without Inflammatory Bowel Disease what our condition is like and the state of awareness around IBD in New Jersey and America, plus much more.
