    Shame is one of the most hidden and destructive forces in the IBD journey.

    In this raw and vulnerable solo episode, Dane opens up about something he rarely discussed in his early years with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease: deep-rooted shame. Shame about bowel movements. Shame about blood in the stool. Shame about dating. Shame about masculinity. Shame about being different.

    And the most powerful realization?

    It is not what you think that is the problem.
    It is not what they think that is the problem.
    It is what you think they think about you that becomes the prison.

    Dane shares how shame kept him hiding his diagnosis, delaying care, feeling less than, and shrinking himself socially and emotionally. He explains how trauma and shame directly impact the nervous system, stress levels, relationships, and even healing outcomes.

    This episode is about taking your power back.

    Biggest Takeaways:

    • Shame thrives in silence. Healing begins with awareness and expression.

    • You cannot fully heal physically if you are hiding emotionally.

    • Confidence comes from transparency, not perfection.

    • Gratitude reframes trauma and weakens shame.

    • Relatability is more powerful than idolization.

    • When you take ownership of your story, you take back control of your life.

These are the hidden traps that keep people stuck in cycles of flare, restriction, burnout, and frustration.
