Tayler Goectau: Embracing Life with an Ileostomy

This week, I spoke with Tayler Goectau about her journey navigating life with disabilities, particularly her transition to living with an ostomy. Tayler opened up about the emotional challenges she faced, the importance of community support, and how she turned her experiences into a creative outlet by designing ostomy covers. She also shared how thrifting plays a key role in her designs and emphasized the need to raise awareness and empower others. We talked about breaking stigmas surrounding ostomy bags, finding a new normal, and creating resources for people in similar situations. Tayler's Instagram
