Summary
Kim Nash was the first baby born to a kidney transplant recipient in the United States and unknowingly contracted Hepatitis C at birth. Diagnosed at 37 with young kids, she faced end-stage liver disease, treatment failure, and crushing depression before a 2014 clinical trial cured her and changed her purpose. Now navigating dystonia, neuropathy, and MS diagnosis while her liver regenerates, Kim shares the raw truth about surviving chronic illness: seeking therapy, starting a gratitude journal with just "a cup of coffee," and discovering that the first battle is in your mind.
