Ep 125. Traveling without bladder anxiety

<p>After years of living with interstitial cystitis and overactive bladder, I spent a weekend in California doing things I never thought would feel easy again. From boat rides without bathrooms to paddle boarding, Pilates, coffee shop lattes, spicy foods, and even riding a motorcycle for the first time, this trip became a huge reminder of how much life can open back up when you address the root causes of symptoms. </p><p>In this solo episode, I share:<br>• What traveling used to feel like when my bladder symptoms controlled my life<br>• How nervous system regulation changed the way I experience symptoms and fear<br>• A powerful moment with Vanessa Blackstone that shifted how I think about anxiety and uncomfortable feelings<br>• Why I’m finally accepting that my low back pain and heel burning are likely neuroplastic symptoms too<br>• How distraction, safety, and self compassion can change symptom patterns<br>• The freedom of eating, drinking, moving, and living without constantly scanning for symptoms<br>• Why I stopped treating my body like it was fragile</p><p>I also talk about how Pain Reprocessing Therapy, nervous system work, and pelvic floor support helped me rebuild trust in my body and get back to living fully again. </p><p>If you’ve ever felt trapped by fear, hypervigilance, or constant symptom monitoring, I hope this episode gives you hope that healing and freedom are possible for you too.</p><p>Learn more about Road To Remission and our upcoming Open House in the links below:</p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://forms.clickup.com/9011948553/f/8cjev09-4131/F92W684U4DZ2VX4IS6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Road To Remission</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://forms.clickup.com/9011948553/f/8cjev09-4131/F92W684U4DZ2VX4IS6⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>FREE OPEN HOUSE: </strong></a><strong></strong></p>
