Podcast title: "Listening When the Body Whispers"

Description: In this episode, host Speaker 1 and Dominique Hackett share a candid, compassionate conversation about an unexpected medical journey: the diagnosis of a staghorn kidney stone and an upcoming nephrectomy. They explore themes of awareness, advocacy, gratitude, and the emotional impact of losing an organ. Together they discuss trusting intuition, navigating the medical system, finding the right doctors, the importance of early testing and second opinions, and reframing a surgery as a corrective step in a larger healing journey. Gentle, practical, and empowering—this episode offers guidance for anyone feeling “off,” caregivers supporting loved ones through medical care, and those seeking ways to listen to and advocate for their bodies.

Caption: When the body whispers, we must listen. A raw, hopeful conversation about diagnosis, advocacy, and finding the silver lining before and after surgery.
