Jennifer shares her experience of being diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune kidney disease in her early twenties, undergoing dialysis and a kidney transplant, and learning to build a meaningful life despite an uncertain future. We explore how she learned to let go of the life she had planned, savor the life she had been given, and find hope and joy along the way. Jennifer also shares the three central themes of her book, Incurable Optimist : managing uncertainty, holding onto hope, and finding joy. _:empty]:hidden"> Thanks for listening, I'd love to connect with you over on Facebook .
