What if IBS isn't your body being dramatic — but your gut trying to file a very overdue complaint?

Marion Bevington brings humour and hard-won honesty to a conversation about swallowed anger, shaky boundaries, shame, and the messages our bodies may be sending. She reframes IBS as "I've Been Swallowing" — connecting the phrase to unspoken family anger, shame, and the difficulty of saying no.

From her cheekily renamed condition to the Stress-Free Fart Formula and Anger Management for Arseholes, Marion explores what can happen when we're taught to keep quiet and say yes when we mean no. She reflects on the difference between privacy and secrecy, and shares candid thoughts on blindness, asking for help, and the everyday absurdity of living with voice technology.

Her perspective is a prompt for reflection, not a substitute for medical advice — but expect a funny, frank, and unexpectedly moving chat about bodies, boundaries, and letting go of shame. Because sometimes your gut has a point, even if its delivery is... unmistakable.
