## Resource

In this episode of the Talking Sh*t podcast, I speak with Kinsey, who started experiencing stomach pain, fatigue, weight loss and bloody stool soon after a big family move. It would take nearly a year before Kinsey finally got a colonoscopy and a clear answer. Diagnosed with colitis at just 15 years old, and now living with a J-pouch, Kinsey talks about navigating treatments, and the impact of her condition on her teenage years. She reflects on her surgeries, the importance of a supportive medical team, and how her experiences have shaped her resilience and empathy Kinsey uses sarcasm to advocate for herself and others, raising IBD awareness on social media while keeping a positive attitude as she handles school and part-time work.
