About this listen
What would you do if you woke up one morning and couldn’t see? In this moving and surprisingly funny episode, Alicja sits down with Luis (aka Luigi), a software engineer who lost his eyesight overnight—after already surviving end-stage kidney failure and a rejected transplant.
From hallucinations of LeBron James to deep reflections on grief, purpose, and adapting to a whole new life, Luis opens up in a way that’s raw, real, and unexpectedly joyful.
We talk about:
Surviving kidney failure in your 20s
Going blind overnight and learning to live again
Mental health, depression, and hallucinations
Humor, healing, and finding meaning
Why he’s moving back to the Dominican Republic
What it really means to “accept” your new self
And yes—there’s a moment involving a hotdog costume you won’t want to miss. 🍔🌭
This episode is a reminder that even in darkness, we can still laugh, still love, and still grow.
