Season Close - "Practicing what I preach"

A season close — and an honest one. For years I pushed through kidney failure, dialysis, a failed transplant, and a recent one, and I never truly let myself recover. I just kept going, because that's who I've always been: the one who handles it. All while standing here every week teaching you to come home to your body and rest when it asks. This episode is me finally practicing what I teach. I've also come to say something out loud that I think many of you live too: the medical system isn't foolproof — even with the best people doing their best, so much falls through the cracks, and a lot of our healing we end up figuring out on our own. That's exactly why I can't run myself empty. So the podcast is resting for the summer. I'm giving myself the room to reflect, integrate everything I've been learning, and come back this fall with the best of what I know — clearer and more whole than I could offer right now. This isn't goodbye. It's a breath. Take good care of yourself, be at ease, and I can't wait to see you again. Visit drconniecheung.com for updates on the return.
