| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to part two of private parts with me, Liv Bentley and my glorious guest, Molly. |
| 0:12.3 | Have you, now in terms of like your sort of dating relationship era, was that, did you have relationships throughout any of this or was it something? You did? |
| 0:22.6 | I was single at the time of my surgery, which I'm actually really happy about, to be honest, |
| 0:28.8 | because I felt like I did it not on my own, because like I said, I had my family, but in a way, |
| 0:33.3 | like I felt like I did it on my own and like I was my support system. I like got myself through that. Yeah. And then I think like my mum's always just been like the best person for this. She's always said to me like if someone doesn't like it, then like they're not worth your time anyway. A hundred percent. You literally get rid of like the red flags before you've even given them the time of day to speak to you because they're not |
| 0:54.2 | even, they don't exist to you, do you know what I mean? So I've been like really, really lucky |
| 0:58.5 | and like my boyfriend now, he's just amazing with it. He doesn't care at all and how long have you |

| 1:09.5 | marathons. Yeah. This is a very healthy relationship. I mean, coming up to the year. And you've committed to the marathons. Yeah. |
| 1:12.7 | This is a very healthy relationship. |

| 1:29.8 | Did it impact that? I think like that was something I always used to think about. Obviously, your 18 lying hospital bed about to have a bag of poo stuck |
| 1:34.0 | to your stomach for the rest of your life. You put it so, I quite like the cool attitude towards |
| 1:38.2 | it. It's like, oh, fuck it, this is happening. It's true. It is true there. And obviously that's |
| 1:42.1 | something I was worried about. I think like it's more |
| 1:44.3 | about I think everyone sometimes can feel a bit nervous around intimacy and stuff. I don't |
| 1:50.4 | necessarily think it was just to do with having a stoma bag. I think like in general we can |
| 1:54.5 | become nervous or like feel some type of way about ourselves. And I think that just becomes part |
| 2:00.4 | of you. and like I said |
