🚨 Trigger warning: went from potato to surgery real quick 🚨

🥔 Well… that escalated quickly.

The other night I went to bed thinking about a jacket potato…

You know…
👉 “Will that still be alright for lunch tomorrow?”

Normal. Grounded. thriving.

Then suddenly —

🔪 it was being sliced open

and so was I.

Yeah.

WHAT???

And I’m not even going to pretend I just sat there all calm and enlightened…

Because I didn’t.

That s**t was scary.

Like:

💥 heart racing
💥 body tensing
💥 “nope nope nope we’re not doing this right now”

So obviously…

🐰 I started thinking about fluffy bunnies
📱 grabbed my phone and scrolled like my life depended on it
🙃 fully avoided eye contact with my own brain

Because sometimes your nervous system just goes:

👉 “Absolutely not, mate.”

Now here’s the wild bit…

I was under for 8 hours during surgery.

Didn’t consciously experience ANY of it.

But my body?

👉 “Don’t worry hun, I logged that for later.” 📝

And this isn’t even the first time it’s happened.

Just minding my business and then —

✨ surprise trauma cameo ✨

But here’s where it actually gets powerful…

Not in the moment (I was busy with my emotional support bunnies 🐰😂)

But after.

Because instead of spiralling…

I just acknowledged it.

👉 “Yeah… that was scary.”
👉 “Yeah… that makes sense.”
👉 “That was a LOT for my body.”

And honestly?

That awareness alone…

Might be most of the healing right there.

Like genuinely… more than half the work.

No deep dive.
No over-analysing.
No trying to fix it instantly.

Just:

👉 noticing
👉 allowing
👉 letting your body know it’s safe now

And yes… I STILL went full witch mode on it after 😂

Because tell me WHY a jacket potato is basically:

🌍 grounding
🔥 under pressure
🔪 split open

Like??? The symbolism is doing the MOST.

Anyway.

I went to bed thinking about lunch…

And ended up processing subconscious surgery trauma via a potato.

Standard behaviour at this point.

I shared the deeper layer of this (because of course there is one 🙄✨) inside my little corner of the internet where we unpack this stuff properly l…

So if you’re someone who low-key knows your brain does this kind of thing too…

👀 you’d probably feel very at home there.
(Details in my featured post)

But for now…

Tell me I’m not the only one 😂
👉 what’s the most random thing that’s ever triggered a full “what the actual f**k” moment for you??

✨ THE NIGHT SHIFT NO ONE SIGNED UP FOR ✨

So after yesterday’s absolute chaos…
(see: me vs gravity vs green liquid 💀)

Paloma decided to balance herself out like a ✨queen of extremes✨

All was calm…

All was peaceful…

All was…
suspiciously quiet 👀

Fast forward to last night:

🕛 Midnight – empty
🕞 3:30am – empty
🕕 6am – nearly full (LIQUID… why is it always liquid 😭)
🕢 7:30am – HALF FULL AGAIN

At this point I’m like…

👉 Am I sleeping?
👉 Or am I just on-call for my own body?!

Because let’s be honest…

While I was “resting”
my insides were like:

🔥 “RIGHT TEAM, LET’S PROCESS EVERYTHING SHE DID YESTERDAY”
🔥 “NO DAYS OFF”
🔥 “INCREASE LIQUID FOR ✨DRAMATIC EFFECT✨”

And now I’m sat here like:

🥱 tired
🫠 slightly delirious
🤨 mildly betrayed by my own digestive system

But also…

It makes sense doesn’t it?

Broken sleep ✔
Body working overtime ✔
Hydration doing a disappearing act ✔

Of COURSE I feel like I’ve done a night shift in a factory I don’t remember applying for 😂

✨ Moral of the story:

Your body will always collect its receipts.

Even if it has to wake you up every 3 hours to do it.

Also…

Can we just take a moment for the AUDACITY of it being liquid AGAIN?!

Like mate…
we’ve been through enough 😂

Anyway…

Today’s vibe is:

💧 hydrate
🧂 replace the salts
🛋️ move a bit slower
🙏 and maybe… just maybe… sleep like a normal human tonight

💫I will not be defined by my circumstances……💫

But sometimes I am in danger of being a cocky tw@t 😂🙈

We have one rule at our house as I feel it covers everything….
“Don’t be a d!ck!” 🤣

Today I broke that rule and Paloma saw that I paid for it 😂

My first f**k up was to go for a long shower without a bag, having just eaten breakfast.
It’s not unusual for me to shower without a bag when I’m changing it - it just makes sense to me to it that way.
And what’s the drama if we get a bit of poo in the bath right 🤷🏼‍♀️
My mistake was eating….

Had I not been washing my hair I’d have got a way with it. There was no p**p for quite a while.

My second mistake was not considering the fact I’d spent the day before out drinking lager 😂🙈
Even without a stoma that’s gonna give ya the liquid s**ts for sure 🙈

And while we’re on the subject, what the heck did drunk Rox eat that was green?! 😂🙈

So it’s safe to say, I ended up in a bit of a mess.
With green liquid 💩 all over my foot!
And when I hopped to the shower after finally getting a bag back on I also ended up with loo roll wrapped round my leg and stuck to my foot.

Everything in life is balance.
I’m reminding myself that stepping out of my comfort zone it is an absolute must for growth and whilst I will not be defined by my circumstances, it’s also important to remember my own rule…..

Don’t be a d!ck 😂🤣🙈

💥 Welcome to Sh*tBag (yes… we went there 😂)

If you’re new here, hi 👋
If you’ve been here a while… you already know we don’t do surface-level living.

This page was born in one of the most unexpected chapters of my life…

After surgery.
After diagnosis.
After my body basically said: “we’re doing things differently now.”

And I could’ve let that define me.

But instead…

I got curious. 👀

Because here’s what I believe (and live):

✨ We are not broken
✨ We are not “after” versions of ourselves
✨ We are not here to shrink, cope, or just get by

We are here to rebuild.
Reclaim.
Rewire.
…and maybe laugh at our stoma bag farting in our face along the way 😂

This space is where I share the REAL side of that journey:

💨 The chaotic moments
🧠 The mindset shifts
💛 The emotional wobbles
🔥 The identity upgrades
✨ And the magic that still exists in ALL of it

No filters. No pretending. No “perfect healing journey” nonsense.

Just real life… with a bit of feral wisdom.

Now… here’s where it gets interesting 👀

Alongside this page, I’m also the woman behind Roxanne Higgins - The Growth & Joy Alchemist💫

That’s my bigger body of work—
Where I help witches, healers, and humans like you:

✨ feel safe in themselves again
✨ release subconscious blocks (hello Belief Coding®️ magic)
✨ shift from survival into expansion
✨ and actually create a life that feels GOOD

Because healing isn’t just about getting through it…

It’s about who you become because of it.

And somewhere in the middle of those two worlds…

👉 Sh*tBag (real, raw, unfiltered life)
👉 Growth & Joy Alchemist (deep transformation + magic)

…The Hidden Path was born 🌀

💫 The Hidden Path – £0.99/month

This is my private, behind-the-scenes space.

Not polished.
Not curated.
Not “content”.

Just me… walking it in real time.

Inside, I share things I don’t post publicly:

✨ deeper mindset + identity shifts
✨ honest thoughts mid-process (not just after the breakthrough)
✨ life after surgery / body changes / healing
✨ energetic leadership + “how I actually apply this stuff”
✨ the crossover between Sh*tBag chaos and Alchemist magic

Think of it like…

👉 sitting next to me while I figure life out
👉 instead of watching from the outside

If you’re:
💛 navigating life after diagnosis or surgery
🧠 rebuilding your mindset + identity
🔥 done with pretending you’re fine when you’re not
✨ or you just like real, honest, slightly unhinged healing energy…

You’ll fit right in.

No pressure. No hard sell.

Just an open door 🚪

👉 Join The Hidden Path for £0.99/month
(and come a little closer to the real magic behind all of this)

Either way…

I’m really glad you’re here.

Because this?

This is what reclaiming your life can actually look like 💫

🫑🫒Last night I had pesto pasta with black olives and red peppers in.
Today my bag looks like roulette 😂🤣

This will now be known as roulette pasta 😂

🫒 Quick side note…

I’ve created a £0.99/month space called The Hidden Path.

It’s a private, behind-the-scenes space where I share:
✨ how I’m navigating life post-surgery
✨ mindset + emotional shifts
✨ the real, honest moments (like this one 😂)

If you’re on a similar journey and want something that feels real, not clinical… you’re very welcome there 💛
