Cultivating Resilience
If you haven't joined one of our international groups with @DannyH you're missing out!
In our most recent session, we explored stress and resilience—specifically, how transplant recipients find that balance between staying safe and actually living life.
The transplant process itself can feel so intense, with constant medical oversight, and then suddenly you’re on your own navigating everything. The hospital is such a high-stress environment, and part of life after transplant is figuring out how to manage that stress and build resilience day to day.
Did you feel a shock when transitioning from the hospital to managing your own transplant care? What strategies have helped you cultivate resilience in your own journey?
We have conversations like this, and so much more, in our community groups and we'd love to see you in our next one. Just click the education tab at the top of your screen to sign up and skip the FOMO

I was prepared to embrace my new reality, but the real shock came with adjusting to the freedom that followed my transplant. Living with so many restrictions for years made it hard at first to believe I could fully enjoy life again. Resilience has always been a part of my journey, but I’ve learned to make it the center of how I live. Along the way, I’ve also discovered the importance of giving myself grace and saying yes to opportunities as they come. My transplant gave me more than just improved health and it gave me a new outlook on life, one grounded in gratitude, strength, and purpose.
