    Welcome to S3 episode 14! We wanted to revisit a topic that continues to happen to those of us living with or living with someone we love with IBD. Opinions! There are a lot of them, some good, some bad. We go over how we handle them, ways to help keep you sane, and laugh/cry together over what we are all dealing with. We are family friendly and want our audience to be involved! Listen together, separately, but ultimately we hope we bring some attention to some well deserved topics on chronic illness.

    Welcome to S3 episode 11! We wanted to share a positive story for the holidays about Costco. Besides being an incredible business to work for, they also stood by us with Mason's diagnosis.

    Welcome to S3 episode 9! Sometimes it is hard to "see" the side effects of IBD. Sometimes you might feel like something is in your mind.
