He said “The sooner you normalise this the better” | Louise Thompson and Ryan Libbey

In this episode, Louise and Ryan share the journey of Winnie and her lovingly named 'Trouser Coughs.'
Louise discusses how she unexpectedly found comfort in the idea of having her colon removed, while Ryan opens up about what happened when they received the news that there would be yet another round of major surgery.
Ryan also shares the advice he received from the men in his life during this time, along with some incredibly poignant words of wisdom for expecting fathers.
PLUS, it’s the first-ever audience submission! This week, you sent in a ‘she said,’ which covers when friendships start to feel like a one-way street.

As someone with a chronic illness I super understand Louise getting excited about having the surgery ❤

I love the advice of open conversation whilst in motion! I feel it really helps relax the mind too, so you aren't overthinking answers and leads to a more honest conversation without even realising it. Thank you!

What a refreshing and important watch. It reaches out on many levels and after following both Louise and Ryan for 6 years on instagram, through the ups and downs, it is so good to see both of you sitting down and sharing your love, respect and vulnerabilities with each other and with us. I can’t see that this will help many people and also help continue the healing journey you are both on. So well done. If anyone struggles listening to podcast, this is a weekly must watch. Thank you to you both for sharing yourselves in order to help others. 😊

I’m holding tears while I listen to this. So emotional, hard and beautiful. How generous of you to share this and what a refreshing way for my personally to stop worrying for small things. Thank you
