Have you ever been gripped by the fear that you wont make it to a bathroom in time?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that many people struggle with, but almost nobody talks about: toilet anxiety. Specifically, the distressing fear of pooping your pants in public or while "trapped" in situations like traffic or meetings.

If you’ve ever felt like your life revolves around the nearest restroom, I want you to know right now: you are not weird, you are not broken, and you are definitely not alone. I struggled with this for years, and I know the absolute torture of feeling like you can't trust your own body. Today, I’m sharing my personal journey, the science behind the gut-brain connection, and how you can finally break the cycle of hypervigilance and reclaim your freedom.
