What would you do if you woke up one morning and couldn’t see? In this moving and surprisingly funny episode, Alicja sits down with Luis (aka Luigi), a software engineer who lost his eyesight overnight—after already surviving end-stage kidney failure and a rejected transplant.

From hallucinations of LeBron James to deep reflections on grief, purpose, and adapting to a whole new life, Luis opens up in a way that’s raw, real, and unexpectedly joyful.

We talk about:

• Surviving kidney failure in your 20s

• Going blind overnight and learning to live again

• Mental health, depression, and hallucinations

• Humor, healing, and finding meaning

• Why he’s moving back to the Dominican Republic

• What it really means to “accept” your new self

And yes—there’s a moment involving a hotdog costume you won’t want to miss. 🍔🌭

This episode is a reminder that even in darkness, we can still laugh, still love, and still grow.
