From Crohn’s disease and years of self-rejection… to learning how to fully accept, trust & love her body again 🤍
In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Montgomery to talk about her journey with chronic illness, body image, an ostomy bag, and the mindset shifts that completely changed her life.
We talk about:
Being misdiagnosed for years before finally discovering she had Crohn’s disease
What it was like living with constant pain, symptoms and feeling disconnected from her body
The fear, shame and identity struggles that came with getting an ostomy bag
Why she resisted surgery for so long.. and how it ultimately saved her life
Learning to rebuild confidence, self-worth & trust in her body again
Exposure therapy, body image, movement, mindset and healing
The small mindset shifts and “thought ladders” that helped her stop spiralling
How exercise became a tool for empowerment instead of punishment
The importance of listening to your body & advocating for your health (huge!)
This conversation is such a beautiful reminder that healing isn’t always linear… & that sometimes the hardest things we go through become the very thing that reconnects us to ourselves.
Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, body image struggles, anxiety around your health, or just feeling disconnected from yourself lately, I think this episode will really speak to you 🫶
