About this episode
J.B. Lawrence shares his personal journey through significant health challenges and family changes.
My name is J.B. Lawrence. At the end of 2017, my vision suddenly failed due to undiagnosed diabetic retinopathy—no prior symptoms. In 2018, I got married and became a stepdad to two awesome daughters. I worked full-time through the pandemic, and starting in January 2022, I lost my sister, then my dad, and by January 2023, my mom. During this time, I also began in-home dialysis after kidney failure. In 2024, just days before my kidney transplant, I was let go from my longtime job. And just a couple of months ago, my wife has decided she wants a divorce. I am dealing with this currently. This is the story I want to share.
