About this listen

 In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, we meet Christy—an extraordinary kidney warrior whose story of resilience will inspire anyone facing life’s toughest battles. Christy takes us back to 2006, when a life-threatening crisis landed her in a coma, leading to kidney failure caused by septicaemia and peritonitis. What followed was nearly two decades of living with chronic kidney disease (CKD)—a journey marked by dialysis as a young adult, the heartbreak of a failed transplant, and the constant balancing act of managing additional health complications. But Christy’s story doesn’t stop at survival. She shares how she transformed her adversity into advocacy, building a vibrant online community and launching her own podcast, Chronically Christy, to connect with and uplift other kidney patients. With honesty and wisdom, Christy speaks about: 💪 The importance of self-advocacy in navigating CKD 🧡 How her family and husband became pillars of support 🎧 Using podcasting and blogging to foster community and raise awareness 📚 Empowering advice for newly diagnosed CKD patients Tune in for an episode filled with courage, insights, and hope—a true testament to the power of resilience and human spirit.
