Rerouted
The Rerouted podcast was originally intended to follow the journey of Mandy Bates, a two-year rectal cancer survivor from symptoms to surgery and her new life with a permanent colostomy. Diagnosed at the age of 49, Mandy chose to forego chemotherapy against her doctor's wishes, but did receive radiation and life altering surgery in February of 2018. With the help of a nutritional coach and a naturopathic doctor, she got her mind and body as healthy as possible before having her internal plumbing rerouted. Ironically, the show and its mission have also been rerouted. With all that is going on in the world today, both in and out of the political arena, it is becoming evermore clear that life can be upended thus rerouting your path to places you never imagined. After the first four episodes, Mandy was faced with some dark moments coming to terms with hidden demons, fears and beliefs. And thanks to some amazing people, she knows she's not alone.

In today's episode, Mandy takes a moment to speak to the current unrest in the United States surrounding the recent presidential election. There are many opinions and theories about why people are so diametrically opposed right now, and many are so passionate they cannot even allow the other side to speak. This is just a snapshot of how and why Mandy believes what she does. At the risk of losing family, friends and alienating people that she loves, she shares a very intimate reason for why she feels so strongly about this election. Below is a link to the article that Mandy quotes during this episode.
