Second Exit-Thrive

Welcome to Second Exit - Thriving with Crohn’s & Ostomy 

My name is April. I created this channel as a space for honest, empowering, and hopefully hilarious conversations about life with Crohn’s disease and living with an ostomy. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, navigating flare-ups, prepping for surgery, or looking for a circle —you're not alone here. I want to share what I have found that works for me, as a hybrid Cloud Engineer, mother of two active children and a daughter who supports an elderly mom.
