We Go There Podcast

Welcome to “We Go There”, where there is no such thing as TMI.

Why? Because there is no such thing as having “too much information” when it comes to your health and wellness. Information and knowledge is power, period. And feeling empowered is everything.

Many of us are living similar experiences, and yet we often feel alone, or even worse – shameful about what we perceive to be an embarrassing problem. When we are embarrassed, we stay silent. Silence breeds shame, and shame makes our struggles even more difficult.

My hope is to help change that. And it starts here!

I want to create a space where NO question is off limits (I really mean it!), where no one feels judged and where you can tune in to learn something, and feel a little seen!

From painful sex, raging hormones, vanishing libido, postpartum vaginal healing, infertility and bladder leaks (been there!) – there is no judgement here. This is about asking the awkward questions and talking with top experts to get the truth – the information you deserve.

We are going there, unfiltered! And I am so excited you’re here.

S6 | E57 Bathroom Anxiety Is a REAL Anxiety with Megan Marsiglio Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease and IBS in 2009, Megan felt extremely isolated and humiliated about having digestive issues. She was always in pain, always running to the bathroom and avoided a lot of situations so that she didn’t have to talk about what she was experiencing, or risk not being able to make it to the bathroom in time (aka bathroom anxiety).

As Megan slowly began opening up about what she was dealing with, she learned that many others dealt with the same issues—they just weren’t talking about them. The stigma around gut issues is what ignited her passion to increase the conversation, push awareness, and create a community. We talk to Megan about her journey being diagnosed with Crohn’s and how she has overcome her anxiety today. She hopes others will join her on the other side of bathroom anxiety.

Megan Shares:

Her experience being diagnosed with Crohn’s
How to advocate for yourself when you’re having bathroom and gut issues
Validation in a diagnosis and how that changes things
What remission looks like (management, diet, etc.)
How to advocate and be diligent after a diagnosis
What bathroom anxiety looks like for different people
