Daelyn James, is someone who understands the power of owning your story. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at just four years old, she remembers what it felt like to go from a carefree childhood to one filled with treatments, doctor visits, and a reality she wasn't ready to face. For a long time, Daelyn kept her CF hidden because she was worried it would change how people saw her or limit what she could do.But in high school, everything shifted. Daelyn made the brave decision to stop running from her diagnosis and start embracing it as part of who she is. And that choice changed her life.Now 25, she proudly lives with CF and uses her experiences to raise awareness, connect with others, and offer hope. Her message is simple but powerful: even in the hardest moments, there is strength, there is goodness, and there is always a way forward.I'm so excited for you to hear her story.To connect with Daelyn visit her on IG: https://www.instagram.com/daelyn_j/To connect with Somer Love her IG is Love to Breath: https://www.instagram.com/lovetobreathe/ Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

With the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic changing our way of life this month, Breaking Through opted to feature one of our most popular episodes in our show's history, our interview with Somer Love. Somer is an adult living with CF, and was the 2019 VLC Alex Award winner. She's also an all-around amazing person. As a force of positivity in the world of cystic fibrosis, Somer has dedicated her life to giving back to the CF community and helping others pursue their dreams. She sat down with Kristen to talk about growing up with CF, starting her own organization, and how she maintains her positive outlook on life. Next month, we will be back with a new interview from a member of the Tomorrow's Leaders program. In the meantime, you can find important answers to frequently asked questions about COVID-19 on the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's website. We hope that you stay informed, safe and healthy. (Originally recorded and posted April 2019)

Somer Love joins Tiff on this week where the two talk about "reinventing" themselves after they both hit significant birthdays in the past month of May. Somer and Tiff talk about how they have this sense of wanting to take a new journey and start over in a way. Somer talks about going to her favorite place, San Diego, and having the ocean steer her in the right direction. Tiff wants to take this new lease and get a job, move out, and *hopefully* get married in the near future. Somer and Tiff go on about support systems and how important having good friends is to boost you to your full potential.

For this month's episode, we interview an adult living with CF, the 2019 VLC Alex Award winner and the all-around amazing Somer Love! As a force of positivity in the world of cystic fibrosis, Somer has dedicated her life to giving back to the CF community and helping others pursue their dreams. She sat down with Kristen at last month’s Volunteer Leadership Conference to talk about growing up with CF, starting her own organization, and how she maintains her positive outlook on life, which is contagious!

Somer Love is back on the podcast to talk about her open letter to family and friends about the holidays and cold/flu season. Gunnar, Tiffany and Somer chat about some of the precautions they take when it comes to health and safety during family gatherings and how they communicate their needs to their family and friends. The three discuss a recent tweet from Seth MacFarlane and how some people have been offended by his seemingly offhanded comment about coughing in public spaces. Tiffany also mentions that her friends are very aware of her immunosuppressed status following transplant. Finally the conversation ends with a few words about discussing some healthy habits in places of mass transportation.

Filling in for Gunnar, Somer Love returns to the podcast and joins the Salty Cysters in a chat about social media in the cystic fibrosis community. They dive into why they use social media, how it has helped CF communication and friendships, and the positive influences it has brought to all three of them. Whether you are an active member on social media, looking to start a personal or CF account, or you’re a bystander on social media & you are just now looking into branching out & making connections with your fellow CFers, this episode offers something for everyone & gives great advice on how to use social media to make it the best & most positive experience for you!

Somer Love joins the trio to round out cystic fibrosis awareness month. Somer is a tremendous advocate for people with cystic fibrosis as she shares her journey very transparently through social media and her brand - LoveToBreathe. Somer talks about how staying positive and having a good sense of humor are the best ways to live with CF and get through the day to day challenges. She talks what it's like to have CF and be a vegetarian, as well as considering joining in on Gunnar's challenge for Lea and Tiff where he made the two go ice skating. The podcast finishes up with Somer chatting about her Love to Breathe Tokens!

We interview an amazing influencer in the Cystic Fibrosis community. Somer Love, aka Love to Breathe, chats with us about making a difference in the CF community. From fundraising to facetiming young CFers while they do their vest treatments. She inspires others through educational and motivational talks and speeches. An advocate not just for her own health but many others, she lives to spread awareness and love as much as she can. Rima and I giggle away in-between being in awe of this brilliant, strong, intelligent woman who is making lives better with her love and kind soul.
