Episode Overview:

Being diagnosed with kidney disease at a young age changes everything.

While your friends are focused on school, careers, relationships, and building their future, you're learning medical terms, adjusting to treatments, and trying to figure out how to live a life that suddenly looks very different.

In this episode, we talk about the emotional, mental, and social challenges of being diagnosed young—from feeling isolated and misunderstood to navigating dating, friendships, careers, and chasing your dreams while managing a chronic illness. We also discuss how to find purpose, build resilience, and refuse to let a diagnosis define your future.

Because being diagnosed young may change your path... but it doesn't have to change your potential.
