Living with a Stoma: Poppy Williams on Finding Confidence After Surgery

In this episode of Maybe This Helps, I sit down with Poppy Williams (@stoma_scene) who shares her inspiring journey of living with Ulcerative Colitis, undergoing emergency surgery, and learning to embrace life with a stoma bag. Poppy opens up about the fear, stigma, and mental challenges she faced, from being scared to tell friends, to dealing with anxiety and negative comments online. But she also shares how she found a new sense of confidence, purpose, and resilience, inspiring thousands through her story. This conversation is about more than just surgery or a diagnosis, it’s about body image, mental health, and the courage it takes to turn pain into purpose. Whether you’re living with a stoma or just looking for a reminder of human strength, this episode is for you.
