In this raw and real episode of The Bowel Chronicles, I sit down with the brilliant and bold Charlie Ryan - known online as @justCharlieRyan - to dive deep into the world of dating with a stoma. From navigating dating apps to tackling those vulnerable first-time conversations, Charlie shares it all with honesty and humour.

We get into the nitty-gritty: body confidence, mindset shifts, getting intimate, and even dressing up to feel your best. Nothing is off limits in this conversation, and it’s an absolute must-listen for anyone who’s single and either living with or preparing for stoma surgery.

Whether you’re wondering if love is still possible post-op (spoiler: it absolutely is) or just need a boost of courage to put yourself back out there—this episode will leave you feeling seen, heard, and empowered.

Tune in, laugh, learn, and feel inspired—you are never alone.
