Dating With an Ostomy: When to Tell, What to Say

Dating with an ostomy doesn’t mean dating with shame.

Let’s talk when to disclose, how to filter faster, and how to keep your standards intact.

In this episode of Rewired and Desired, Nicole Richards and Trina Ricketts get real about dating with an ostomy: when to tell someone, what actually matters, how to spot red flags early, and why your mindset walking into a date changes everything. We also unpack the pros/cons of dating apps, “too much texting,” confidence traps, and practical do’s and don’ts that have nothing to do with a bag and everything to do with boundaries.
