Episode description
I just got back from a two-week whirlwind across Lisbon, Morocco, and the Azores, and this episode is the no-filter, full-body download you asked for. From hiking steep Lisbon hills in secondhand Dr. Scholl's to surviving a GI bug (plus a mini bladder flare) in a twin bed with one bathroom—this is the good, the bad, and the WTF moments of international travel with a history of pelvic floor and bladder symptoms.
Inside, I unpack:
- How I handled walking 10k+ steps/day with zero bladder drama
- The truth about European tapas, sardines, and bathroom culture
- My first real reckoning with low back pain as possibly neuroplastic
- Morocco wedding magic (and chaos) — heatwaves, hydration, and GI fallout
- How I navigated a flare with zero panic or spiraling
- Why healing doesn’t mean "never having symptoms again"
