Afraid to Fart: The Podcast

You were taught to be ashamed of your body. Your body was never ashamed of you. It's time to drop the fear.

Welcome to Afraid to Fart, the unapologetically quirky, deeply philosophical, and brutally honest podcast about IBS, shame, and the journey back to your own skin. Hosted by Marion Bevington, author, blind creator, and "snotty fart survivor," this is not your typical wellness content. No clinical jargon, no sterile advice, no apologies for being human and an important reminder that

*Laughter is the best Medicine*"

Why This Podcast Exists
From birth, we're conditioned to believe natural bodily functions are rude or disgusting. But what if your body isn't broken, and is speaking a language you were never taught?

Marion's journey began in a family of "polite" Catholic Irish alcoholics, where farting earned punishment. Decades later, IBS arrived with "snotty farts." Instead of suppressing the symptoms, Marion started listening, and discovered mucus isn't a malfunction. It's a boundary, protecting you from the anger you've swallowed your whole life.

What You'll Get
Raw, comedic episodes exploring:

• Shame & Conditioning: Where the fear was installed, and how to deprogram it.
• IBS & Gut Intelligence: Symptoms as messages, not enemies.
• Nervous System & Boundaries: Self-soothing, saying "no," and claiming your own space (hippos included).
• Blindness & Independence: Vision loss, lost privacy, and humour in adaptation.
• Philosophy & Potty Mouth: Off-the-cuff wisdom, tangents, and why vulnerability beats confidence.

This podcast is for the Fearless Farters Fam: the misfits, the chronically embarrassed, and anyone who's ever sat frozen on a toilet, terrified someone might hear them exist. Healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's remembering you were never broken.

Your Host: Marion Bevington
A 62-year-old blind, bonkers and belligerent creator, author of Afraid to Fart, and the force behind afraidtofart.com. Part philosopher, part provocateur, all heart, Marion offers vulnerability, not confidence. In a world obsessed with perfection, that's the most radical act of all.
