Episode 17: Why Not Me? A Story of Kidney Failure and Mental Resilience - with Shelby Hansen

In this episode Maurice sits down with Shelby Hansen, a speech pathologist, mother of four, kidney transplant survivor, and life coach whose journey redefines resilience. Diagnosed with stage four kidney failure at 31, Shelby faced life-threatening complications, a high-risk pregnancy, and a “sleepy” transplanted kidney that wouldn’t function. Through faith, nervous system awareness, radical mindset shifts, and learning to receive support, she transformed survival into healing. This conversation explores the mind-body-spirit connection and what it truly means to move from fear to safety, isolation to connection, and victimhood to empowered resilience.Disclaimer: This podcast and YouTube channel are for informational and educational purposes only.
