Leaks, Laughs & Life with a Urostomy

About Leaks, Laughs & Life with a Urostomy

Leaks, Laughs & Life with a Urostomy is a real-life podcast about living with a urostomy after bladder removal surgery. Hosted by Dawn, this show shares honest, lived experience from her own journey with a urostomy, along with her husband Alex’s journey with a neobladder. Together, they offer a perspective that goes beyond the clinical side of recovery and into what day-to-day life actually looks like. From nighttime routines and daily management to emotional adjustment, confidence, and the unexpected moments along the way, this podcast creates space for real conversations that are often left out of the medical discussion. Dawn is also the author of Leaks, Laughs & Life with a Urostomy: The Handbook, a practical guide built from real-world experience, and the creator of My Plot Twist Journal, designed to support the emotional side of healing and identity after surgery. This is not medical advice. It is real life, shared with honesty, humor, and heart. If you are living with a urostomy, supporting someone who is, or navigating life after bladder removal, you are not alone here.

   Emergency Preparedness for Urostomates

   Emergency Preparedness for Urostomates Emergencies rarely give us time to prepare. Whether it’s a wildfire, hurricane, flood, unexpected hospitalization, or another life event, having a plan can make an already stressful situation a little less overwhelming. In this resource, I share practical tips for creating an emergency kit specifically for urostomates, what supplies to keep on hand, and how a little preparation today can bring peace of mind tomorrow. I’ve also created a free Emergency Urostomy Checklist that you can download from my website to help you build your own emergency kit. Because being prepared isn’t about living in fear. It’s about living with confidence.

   In the Midst Of Chaos

   This week is a little different. I wanted to share a quick update on why there isn’t a full podcast episode right now. Our family has been affected by the Aspen Acres Fire in Colorado, and while we are not currently under an evacuation order, we are preparing in case conditions change. Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your support. I’ll be back behind the microphone as soon as it’s safe to do so.

   Nobody Told Me About ...Returning to Work After Bladder Removal

   Returning to work after bladder removal surgery is not just about physical recovery, it is a full adjustment in energy, confidence, routine, and how you move through your day. In this episode of the Nobody Told Me… series, I talk about what it was really like going back to work with a urostomy. From fatigue and stamina to practical challenges and emotional shifts, this is the side of recovery that does not always get discussed. Because nobody told me this part would take this much adjustment.
