What does it really mean to start over—after nearly everything has been taken away?
In this powerful and deeply inspiring conversation, I talk with journalist and advocate Jackie Duda, who shares her extraordinary journey through chronic illness, disability, and survival. Once a thriving writer, Jackie’s life took a sharp turn when she was diagnosed with autoimmune and connective tissue disorders including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Crohn’s disease, POTS, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. But it was a near-fatal bout of sepsis in 2021, triggered by a colon perforation, that changed everything.
Jackie opens up about the physical and emotional toll her health battles took on her and her family—and how she slowly, courageously found her way back. Now, she’s using her voice to raise awareness about sepsis, chronic illness, and osteoporosis, and to help others reclaim joy despite life's hardest moments.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
What sepsis is—and why awareness could save your life
How chronic conditions like Crohn’s, POTS, and Ehlers-Danlos can derail a life
The emotional impact illness has on families
Why osteoporosis should be taken seriously—at any age
How writing became a lifeline and tool for advocacy
The importance of community, joy, and owning your health journey
