...I Just Needed To Poop
11m | Aug 21, 2026What if that “blah” feeling isn’t just your mood—but your gut trying to get your attention?
In this episode, I’m sharing my personal wake-up call after realizing I had been eating way too much vegan junk food, feeling completely unmotivated, living in sweatpants and a ponytail, and—most importantly—hadn’t pooped in THREE days. 😂
It reminded me just how deeply connected our gut, brain, energy, and mood really are. We’re talking about the gut-brain connection, serotonin, dopamine, digestion, constipation, nutrition, and why what’s happening in your body can influence how you experience your life.
This isn’t about saying anxiety or depression is “all in your gut.” It’s about remembering that mental and physical wellness are not separate. Sometimes before we assume something is wrong with our life, we need to check in with the body that is living it.
Because your body is always communicating.
And sometimes the “I don’t feel like myself” feeling is simply an invitation to listen.
Your gut might have more to say about your mood than you realize. 🌿
