In this episode we have a very honest and straightforward discussion with Breanne Sich about the reality of life with IBD. Breanne has Crohn's and has started the Crohns Colitis Collective Co.
Breanne describes the collective: "It was started as a way to bring awareness to this invisible disease, and encourage people to reach out, get gutsy, and talk about sh*t. To talk about how you are feeling. To talk about what this disease really looks like. We need to collectively raise awareness so one day, we can beat this disease. To date we have been able to donate over $80,000 to help fund a cure, and there is no sign of us stopping anytime soon!"
We discuss:
- Breanne's story of getting diagnosed and how she became an advocate for IBD patients.
- the importance of creating a community that helps to educate others about the struggles of IBD patients
- how talking about her personal struggles has helped others know they don't have to suffer alone
- the challenges of kids having IBD and the support Breanne wishes she had in middle school and high school.
- what she would tell someone who is newly diagnosed with IBD
- how she came to accept her challenges with IBD and why it is so important to empower others
