I Pooped My Pants With April Michelle Harris

When is the last time you pooped your pants? Amber speaks with April Michelle Harris, who lives with ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), for over 13 years. April shares her journey, from her initial diagnosis to her struggles with depression and anxiety, and how she has managed to build a fulfilling life despite the many challenges that come with living with a chronic illness.

We also dive into April's new book "I Pooped My Pants", where she shares her story and those of 20 other IBD warriors who have bravely shared their experiences with living with the disease. April's book provides a refreshing and honest perspective on what it's like to live with IBD, and it's a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the disease and how it affects people on a daily basis.

Tune in to hear April's inspiring story and learn more about living with a chronic illness, and how you can build a fulfilling life despite the challenges that may come your way.
