    2 Year Transplant Anniversary Special!

    Two years ago, I was given a second chance at life. In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on the two-year anniversary of my double lung transplant — the journey that brought me here, the challenges no one sees after transplant, the things I’ve learned, and what it means to realize just how much life can change in two years. This isn’t just a story about receiving new lungs. It’s about everything that comes after: gratitude, fear, growth, grief, healing, and learning how to live the life I fought so hard to have. If you’ve ever wondered what life is really like after a double lung transplant, this is my story — two years later.

    Can we talk about reiki?!

    I never thought I'd be the person recording an episode about Reiki... but here we are. As someone who's spent my entire life relying on medicine, hospitals, and science, I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into my first Reiki session. Was it relaxing? Was it weird? Did I actually feel anything? In this episode, I'm sharing what led me to try it, what actually happened during the session, and the emotions that caught me completely off guard afterward. This isn't an episode trying to convince you to believe in anything. It's simply an honest conversation about keeping an open mind, exploring different forms of healing, and what happens when science meets something you can't quite explain. Sometimes healing isn't about finding all the answers—it's about being willing to explore the questions. Whether you're skeptical, curious, or already familiar with Reiki, I hope this episode gives you something to think about. ___________ FOLLOW:  ⁨@jencantbreathe⁩  on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok!LINK TREE: https://linktr.ee/jencantbreathe_?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=a2594188-93d4-4c41-919c-93de05f72001

    We are growing up! A new Sick Chick Hour

    The podcast has grown — and so have we. What started as a safe space to vent, connect, and share the realities of life with chronic illness has evolved into something even bigger, literally. I'm going to be talking to a group of people about a topic relevant to our lives—not just as chronically ill people, but as people. It’s still the same honest, hilarious, and heartfelt conversations you’ve come to love — but now with an even deeper focus on community, connection, and finding joy in the mess. Each week, you’ll hear from voices across the chronic illness world as we talk about everything from dating and careers to self-worth and survival. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a reminder that we’re all figuring it out together — one laugh, one story, one Sick Chick moment at a time. 💖
