Happy Sunday readers,
I’ve got the perfect solution to the summer Sunday scaries, my amazing chat with the Fresh Story team.
I was no stranger to the Fresh Story team. Hosts Olivia and Jenny Dreizen uniquely have watched my story unfold since following Zach on IG during July’s birth.
We talk about so many things, including how important choosing a partner who has the skills to both care-give and make medical decisions for you when you can’t. We often don’t think about these traits when we find ourselves attracted to people, but when choosing a partner, it’s VITAL.
We also talk about how going through all this turmoil changed my marriage.

Did You Miss It?
Another powerful pod-chat with Nicole Sciacca about redefining “healthy” when you have a chronic illness.
If you’re new here and wondering, “what happened to this lady?” read:
I started writing this when I was on dialysis. It’s intended to be both memoir and a practical tool to help folks who might be going through something similar or those caregivers and family supporting someone with a challenging diagnosis. NOTE: This is not intended to replace actual medical guidance. Please consult your doctors on your individual challenges and situations. Please talk to your clinicians before adjusting any of your care protocols. Also names have been changed for most of my medical staff.
Thank you to CC Couchois, Roy Lenn, and Dr. Richard Burwick for your founding level donation.
Enjoy every moment,enjoy every mountain on your August vacation. I relisted to “BE” and watched the slideshow again. I got goosebumps! So beautiful and sad too: I got tears in my eyes thinking about what you all went through and smiled at where you are now. Though the road somewhat challenging, you are soaring free now and heading into clearer skies and pastures.
Thank you for taking me and all of us on Substack on your journey. .🙏💜
