Hosts Valen and Cristen share how their unique yet parallel experiences of living with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) led to their serendipitous friendship and passion for patient advocacy. This episode introduces the two women and how they inspired the power of hope in each other before meeting. Valen and Cristen also explore how their PKD and transplant journeys motivate them to provide an honest perspective of the physical and emotional complexities of living with chronic illness.
By offering the support and resources they wish they had, Valen and Cristen aspire to connect with others who are not alone in their health journey – and whose experiences resonate with their own. Told through a conversation between friends, Valen and Cristen navigate the real stories, thoughts, and feelings that come with unpacking the extraordinary gift of life.
