Working Retail With IBS: A $h*t Show
EXCITING NEWS (kinda lmao) - you can WATCH this episode on YouTube! hi, i'm Christine, and welcome (back) to the MyIBSLife podcast! i get asked quite frequently over on Instagram and TikTok what I do for work while living with IBS, so I wanted to make a few-part series about all the jobs I've had during my 16+ years of dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome! here's part one: working retail with IBS. I honestly feel that this job was the hardest, especially when it came to dealing with the general public, being understaffed, working crazy schedules and dealing with the holiday madness. having an IBS flare in the middle of a department store is just NEVER the vibe -- especially when you don't have the choice to go home during a shift lmao. i'm always so curious - what do you guys do for work? what are some of the challenges that you've faced in the workplace while living with IBS? let me know over on Instagram, TikTok or leave a review telling your stories! sending so much love to all my teachers, nurses, doctors, field workers and so many more who push through and work through the pain. you are so incredibly strong, and I know you are underappreciated. thank you for everything you all do. thank YOU for being here & listening! make sure to subscribe, rate & review this podcast! make sure to also follow me on Instagram & TikTok for more IBS and emetophobia content :-) talk again soon! xo --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myibslife/support
