Episode 2 | Real Strength

from The Invisible Wave Podcast Hosted by Invisible Wave

James Richardson grew up with cystic fibrosis, a serious condition affecting the lungs, and was not expected to live past 19. Like many young men, sharing something that might make him seen as other, or as somehow less-than or weak, was difficult. So he navigated all the stress and daily existential challenges of this brutal disease alone and in secret for his first 26 years. James eventually summoned the courage to be open about his disease, and in this episode he takes us through that crucial step on his journey to finding all-important community, and how life with a chronic condition, contrary to what those still living in the shadows out of fear of being seen as somehow weak or less-than, actually exemplifies strength.
