    She polishes her survival skills. By Cummsweetly. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Tabitha was excited about taking the wilderness survival course. She had signed up with her girlfriend, Kim, and they planned to share a tent. The weekend was supposed to be warm during the days but there had been frost warnings all week, so they were prepared for a few chilly nights. They both knew a couple of the other people taking the course. One guy in particular, for whom Tabitha had the hots, was going. So was a guy with whom Kim had already been a few times. Kim had warned Tabitha that, if things got hot for them, she might sneak out to his tent one night. Tabitha said that she was o.k. with it and didn't mind sleeping alone, even though she was insanely jealous. She was a very horny 18 year old, who masturbated at least once a day, sometimes twice. She had had a few chances to lose her virginity, but had chosen to wait.The guys weren't special and she wasn't going to give her “cherry” to just anyone! So, she was very envious of Kim. Kim was an experienced girl and had shared every encounter with Tabitha. After Kim described her sexual escapades, Tabitha often went home and masturbated, imagining herself in Kim's place. Finally, Friday arrived. They had packed warm clothes and sturdy hiking boots, warm sleeping bags and a good, warm little tent. They all met at the school to catch a bus that would take them to the national campground. Tabitha's eyes quickly scanned the small group of people already waiting. Her heart skipped a few beats as she spied “him” in the crowd. Rex was ruggedly dressed and looked very hot. He stood a little apart from everyone else. She knew that he was on the shy side and that it took some warming up to get him to talk. Once he did, though, she had always found him intelligent, funny and very down to earth. Their eyes met and his face turned a bright red, his green eyes showing up even more against the red. He smiled shyly at her and nodded his head. She smiled back, suddenly shy herself. Then, the survival leader started talking and their silent communication was halted. She found herself sitting next to him on the bus as Kim sat with her latest conquest. Their thighs and shoulders bumping against each other as the bus rumbled along, she had trouble concentrating. They talked the whole way to the park, discovering that they had a lot in common. He was so easy to talk with and she found herself feeling completely at ease with him. Once at the camp, they all got very busy pitching tents and setting up their camp. Rex ended up sharing a tent with Ryan, Kim's guy. A blazing, hot bonfire was started and the team designated to cook that night's meal got to work. It turned out that Rex and Tabitha were on the same team. They were on clean up duty that night and they worked well together, picking up their conversation from earlier. It sure made their time go faster. The temperature had dropped considerably by sunset and everyone scurried into their tents to put on warmer clothes. Kim and Tabitha met in their tent. Kim was flushed and whispered that she and Ryan were getting along really well and would Tabitha mind if Ryan's tentmate bunked in with her that night? Tabitha blushed and stammered that she guessed it was fine with her. Having Rex in her tent, sleeping beside her, was going to be torture. How in the hell was she supposed to sleep with the guy of her present fantasies laying right next to her?? The fire had died down and one of the guys poured water over the blazing hot coals. Kim and Ryan had disappeared hours before. Rex retrieved his sleeping bag and gear and brought put them to Tabitha's tent. He was embarrassed about the whole thing and had apologized to her for invading her space. She assured him that it was o.k. He spread his sleeping bag, right next to hers. “Damn, that's close!” She thought to herself. She got into the tent first, and stripped off her outer layers, leaving on the layers closest to her skin. It was so cold that she could see her breath. She crawled into her sleeping bag, wondering where Rex was. Still chilled, she snuggled down into her bag. There was a tentative clearing of the throat at the tent door. Rex asked if it was o.k. to come in. She said it was. He crawled into the tent and awkwardly stood there. She told him she had just left her long johns and turtleneck on. He quickly stripped out of his outerwear and was in his sleeping bag before she could avert her eyes! They started talking about the day's events and the next day's schedule. It was going to be a lot of fun. The topics turned around to boyfriends and girlfriends, dating. Then they started talking about sex. It turned out that both of them were still virgins. They talked about various friends and kids in school who advertised the loss of their virginity. They both laughed and agreed that when it happened for them, there would not be any announcements made. They talked about oral sex and that they both were very interested in reading and watching porn dealing with oral. They talked a bit more, about dreams and aspirations, both of them getting sleepier by the minute, when she realized that Rex had fallen asleep. She was really horny by this time with all the talk about sex. She thought about all the things they had talked about and decided, right then and there, that she couldn't waste such an opportunity with Rex lying right there beside her. She quietly slid out of her sleeping bag. Shit, was it cold! She crept over to where Rex was sleeping and gingerly tugged on the zipper of his sleeping bag. He didn't stir. She pulled the zipper down far enough to start to wiggle in beside him. He awoke with a start and she put a finger to his lips and whispered, “Shush! Move over!” He moved over to the far edge of his sleeping bag. She slid in beside him, gasping as she felt his bare legs against her hand. Her hand crept up his leg, to discover that he was only wearing briefs. She smiled to herself. This would make her mission, oh, so much easier. She shivered from the cold and awkwardly zipped up the sleeping bag again. It was a tight fit with the two of them inside his bed. The combined heat from their bodies started to warm things up quickly. She felt the bulge of his cock against her hip and could feel her pussy juices begin to flow down her inner thighs. She turned to him and their noses bumped. She started to giggle. Her lips searched for his and she tentatively kissed him. He pressed back and she took that as being a step in the right direction. Her tongue parted his lips and darted inside his mouth. He groaned and gave her a quick taste of his tongue. The next pass, their lips parted and both their tongues bumped and twisted against each other. She thought she was going to orgasm right then and there. He was an awesome kisser! And that tongue of his!!! She could hardly wait to feel it deep inside her pussy. He pressed his hips against hers. She could feel his cock, fully engorged now, hard and steely against her hip. Her hand slid down to his flat, hairy stomach. He groaned again against her lips. Her hand slid to the front of his briefs. His cock twitched and writhed beneath her hand, like a caged animal trying to get free. She loved the feel of him and stroked his cock through his briefs. He was huge! She could not wrap her hand around his cock and he was longer than her hand, from her wrist to the tip of her middle finger, by at least an inch. She found herself salivating, anxious to taste her first cock! Their hands kneaded and stroked and tantalized and tortured each other. Finally she couldn't take it any longer. She ducked her head inside the sleeping bag and slid down until she was kneeling over him, her mouth level with his pulsating cock. She unleashed his cock from the confines of its cage and at last, held his magnificent tool in her hand. She couldn't see a damn thing, but instinctively, her lips were drawn to his warm, silky cock. She deeply inhaled the musky scent of him, the aroma making her juices flow copiously down the insides of her thighs. Her tongue made a slow lick around the head of his cock. Something wet and sticky and slick and sweet tasting covered her tongue. “Yummy!” She thought as she greedily licked it up. “This must be that precum they talk about.” She heard a muffled groan and his hips bucked toward her eager lips. Her tongue eagerly began to lick his shaft, her hand cradling his balls against the root of his cock. “Suck my cock Tabitha. Please take it into your mouth,” he huskily whispered. She swallowed his cock with one gulp, surprising not only him, but herself, too! She loved how he tasted, a bit salty and sweet at the same time. She loved how his cock felt in her mouth, as if it had a life of its own. It twitched and bobbed and pulsated. It was soft and hard at the same time, silky and velvety. It was fantastic!! She slid her mouth up and down his shaft, like she'd seen in the movies. Above her, Rex was making unintelligible sounds, his hips thrusting against her mouth. His balls suddenly became firm and she sensed a change in his mood. She thought that he was about to cum. She was going to experience her first taste of hot, gooey jism! She had heard horror stories about guy's spunk tasting gross. She didn't have time to wonder any further, as his hips bucked beneath her. His cock became even harder and he grunted that he was about to cum. That he was going to fill her mouth with his cum. He grabbed her head between his hands and pushed his cock deeper in her mouth. Her throat opened and she felt his cock deep in her mouth. She could feel the sperm boil in his loins as it erupted. She felt the first spray of sperm hit the back of her throat. She eagerly swallowed as the next stream hit her tonsils. His cock kept pumping sperm into her eager, sucking mouth. He writhed beneath her, hands pulling her hair as his cock spilled into her throat. She didn't think he was ever going to empty his balls, but he did. He was panting heavily, his cock quickly deflating. She continued to suckle him, gently licking his cock and balls. She kissed his cock and slid back up beside him. She grinned at him and told him that she loved sucking him and could she please be his cocksucker? He shook his head in amazement and told that it was unfucking believable!! He said that she could be his cocksucker whenever she wanted! She hugged him and told him that he had better like it, because he was going to have a hard time getting her lips away from his beautiful cock. As they held each other, she felt his cock twitch between them. They laughed and he said that his cock was giving his affirmative vote as well! As they kissed to seal their deal, his cock poked and prodded her stomach. She knew what she wanted next and eagerly grabbed his cock! By Cummsweetly for Literotica

    After our report in the Winnipeg Sun revealed that certain voices in the poverty industry promote downplaying property and other offences committed by homeless lawbreakers, a listener raised an important question:"Is there any limit to what City Hall will tolerate as survivalcrimes? "In Part 1 of Episode 35 we explore his concern, about the lax attitude of local authorities to thieves stripping copper they steal and store in riverbank encampments:"Being a tradesperson, I was once warned that cyanide is released when the vinyl wire casing is burned... Never mind air quality warnings about northern forest fires, how about neighbourhoods being warned when thieving scum are burning off wire and creating smoke that is thousands of times more toxic than that of burning trees?"That's a "survival crime" that poisons riverbank communities- yet it's been tolerated. 12.35 Part 2- A letter sent this week to Mayor Gillingham and City Councillors provides evidence of the ground-floor effects of "survival crimes" being tolerated by Winnipeg civic leaders. "Not-for-profits are redefining criminal behavior in ways that downplay the break-ins, thefts, and violence ourcommunity experiences daily. This is not sustainable. We are creating a climate where the most vulnerable: seniors, children, people with disabilities, and those struggling with addiction are at constant risk."Sent by the housing chair of the Point Douglas Residents Committee, it poses troubling questions about how taxpayers in he neighborhood are treated like third-class citizens as drug-fueled mayhem stalks them daily."I am frustrated and disheartened by the disparity in attention and response Point Douglas receives in terms of basic city maintenance and bylaw enforcement."In one example, a problematic property on a short connecting sidestreet couldn't be found by bylaw officers walking right past it. It's the only lot on the street. Another example is how a graffiti complaint puts callers in the position of interpreting the markings, a job that should be done by paid staff."311 then asked if the graffiti is hateful or threatening. I am not an expert in graffiti or gang symbols. Is this the standard? That graffiti is only actionable if it is explicitly hateful? Graffiti of any kind should be considered a livability violation no matter the content. It lowers property values, invites crime, and reinforces the broken window theory that neglect fosters further decline. "The total ineptitude towards the embattled area puts both the head of the Bylaw Division, Winston Yee, and Police Chief Gene Bowers on the spot- and they were both questioned directly in the email. Will they respond?It all makes her wonder if there's a hidden agenda because "This level of discrepancy sends a clear message about which communities matter... the lack of basic care and enforcement in Point Douglas is so persistent that it feels intentional. "Marty Gold brings all the details, including actionable items presented by the PDRC (don't tell Dan Lett). Hear our additional insight into the encampment-driven crisis facing residents east of Main Street. Gillingham, city councillors like Vivian Santos, and health authorities are ignoring them - because acting on it hurts the "harm reduction" reputation of the government-funded experts enabling these "survival crimes".

She unleashed his cock from the confines of its cage and at last, held his magnificent tool in her hand. She couldn't see a damn thing, but instinctively, her lips were drawn to his warm, silky cock. She deeply inhaled the musky scent of him, the aroma making her juices flow copiously down the insides of her thighs. Her tongue made a slow lick around the head of his cock. Something wet and sticky and slick and sweet tasting covered her tongue. “Yummy!” She thought as she greedily licked it up. “This must be that precum they talk about.” She heard a muffled groan and his hips bucked toward her eager lips. Her tongue eagerly began to lick his shaft, her hand cradling his balls against the root of his cock. “Suck my cock Tabitha. Please take it into your mouth,” he huskily whispered. She swallowed his cock with one gulp, surprising not only him, but herself, too! She loved how he tasted, a bit salty and sweet at the same time. She loved how his cock felt in her mouth, as if it had a life of its own. It twitched and bobbed and pulsated. It was soft and hard at the same time, silky and velvety. It was fantastic!! She slid her mouth up and down his shaft, like she'd seen in the movies. Above her, Rex was making unintelligible sounds, his hips thrusting against her mouth. His balls suddenly became firm and she sensed a change in his mood. She thought that he was about to cum. She was going to experience her first taste of hot, gooey jism! She had heard horror stories about guy's spunk tasting gross. She didn't have time to wonder any further, as his hips bucked beneath her. His cock became even harder and he grunted that he was about to cum. That he was going to fill her mouth with his cum. He grabbed her head between his hands and pushed his cock deeper in her mouth. Her throat opened and she felt his cock deep in her mouth. She could feel the sperm boil in his loins as it erupted. She felt the first spray of sperm hit the back of her throat. She eagerly swallowed as the next stream hit her tonsils. His cock kept pumping sperm into her eager, sucking mouth. He writhed beneath her, hands pulling her hair as his cock spilled into her throat. She didn't think he was ever going to empty his balls, but he did. He was panting heavily, his cock quickly deflating. She continued to suckle him, gently licking his cock and balls. She kissed his cock and slid back up beside him. She grinned at him and told him that she loved sucking him and could she please be his cocksucker? He shook his head in amazement and told that it was unfucking believable!! He said that she could be his cocksucker whenever she wanted! She hugged him and told him that he had better like it, because he was going to have a hard time getting her lips away from his beautiful cock. As they held each other, she felt his cock twitch between them. They laughed and he said that his cock was giving his affirmative vote as well! As they kissed to seal their deal, his cock poked and prodded her stomach. She knew what she wanted next and eagerly grabbed his cock! By Cummsweetly for Literotica

    Contested City: Citizen Advocacy and Survival in Modern Baghdad (Stanford UP, 2025) offers a history of state-society relations in Baghdad, exploring how city residents managed through periods of economic growth, sanctions, and war, from the oil boom of the 1950s through the withdrawal of US troops in 2011. Interactions between citizens and their rulers shaped the social fabric and political realities of the city. Notably, low-ranking Ba'th party officials functioned as crucial intermediaries, deciding how regime policies would be applied. Charting the social, economic, and political transformations of Iraq's capital city, Alissa Walter examines how national policies translated into action at the local, everyday level. With this book, Walter reveals how authoritarian governance worked in practice. She follows shifts in mid-century housing and urban development, the impact of the Iran–Iraq and Gulf Wars on city life, and the manipulation of food rations and growth of black markets. Reading citizen petitions to the government, Walter illuminates citizens' self-advocacy and the important role of low-ranking party officials and state bureaucrats embedded within neighborhoods. The US occupation and ensuing sectarian fighting upended Baghdad's neighborhoods through violent displacement and the collapse of basic state services. This power vacuum paved the way for new power brokers, including militias and neighborhood councils, to compete for influence on the local level.

    Strap in and turn up the volume for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred episode of The Clay Edwards Show, where we dive deep into the raw realities shaping our culture and the fight for America's soul. In this powerful discussion, we reflect on the one-year anniversary of the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania—exploring how a split-second turn of the head not only saved a leader's life but averted a national catastrophe that could have spiraled into chaos, revenge, and civil unrest. We unpack what America dodged: a potential bloodbath, mass upheaval, and the unraveling of our society, all viewed through the lens of hindsight and the ongoing battle against corruption at every level.   Shifting gears, we call out the systemic rot in places like Jackson, Mississippi—issues no one else dares touch, from entrenched evil in power structures that don't care about everyday people to the sad truth that everyone knows it's broken but few fight back. We challenge the "positive solutions only" crowd who've been running things for years: What exactly are these solutions? We've seen too few results amid the decay, and it's time for real talk on reclaiming our communities and country.   Plus, we bust the myth that Americans won't do the tough jobs like construction, farming, or manual labor—backing it up with hard stats showing native-born workers already dominate these fields. We expose how cheap immigrant labor suppresses wages, hurts vulnerable communities, and perpetuates a distorted economy, all while liberals like Gavin Newsom push outdated narratives that insult hardworking folks.   We also hand out our FAFO (F'd Around and Found Out) championship to a North Mississippi fool who learned the hard way you can't bail out a buddy from jail with your own warrants active, and spotlight a Hattiesburg lawyer's downfall after pocketing a widow's wrongful death settlement—proving accountability catches up when you mess with the wrong people.   This episode is a dose of reality radio: no sugarcoating, just bold takes on corruption, culture wars, and the urgent need to spotlight the issues tearing at America's fabric. If you're ready for honest conversation that challenges the status quo, hit play now and join the fight.

    In this episode, we explore what it means to be stuck in survival mode—mentally, emotionally, and physically—and how many of us are living from a place of fear, habit, and urgency without realizing it. Survival mode can look like over-functioning, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or just constantly pushing through. It's often the result of trauma, chronic stress, or a childhood where it wasn't safe to slow down or have needs. But while survival mode may have helped you get through hard times, it's not meant to be a permanent way of life. We also talk about the path forward—how to reconnect with your body,  calm your regulate your nervous system, and start living in alignment with who you really are. Reclaiming your power doesn't require a life overhaul. It starts with small acts of self-ownership, and choosing from who you are—not just who you've had to be. If you're ready to move beyond coping and step into grounded, empowered living, this episode will give you tools, language, and encouragement to begin.   3 Key Takeaways: 1.   The way you've been functioning might be more about surviving than truly living. 2.   There's a powerful shift that happens when you start making choices from a different place. 3.   Sometimes the smallest moments—how you breathe, how you pause, how you check in—can change everything.   Survival mode helped you get through.

Yet some abusive trainers still subject horses to this inhumane practice through the use of blistering agents—mustard oil, diesel fuel, and kerosene—as well as through mechanical means—the use of foreign objects inside shoes, and the use of heavy chains that irritate chemically treated tissue. Soring causes excruciating pain to horses when their feet touch the ground, causing them to lift their feet higher than normal. The Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act would strengthen existing law by ending industry self-policing, banning certain devices, and generating stiffer penalties for trainers who sore their horses.

    Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ What if perfectionism isn't ambition, but a nervous system reflex for survival? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by returning guest Piper Rose of ShadowPlay Coaching to explore perfectionism and rejection sensitivity through a neuroscience and trauma-informed lens. We reframe perfectionism as a high-cost survival strategy rooted in complex trauma, societal conditioning, and early nervous system adaptations. Together, Elisabeth Kristof, Jennifer Wallace, and Piper unpack how perfectionistic behaviors can emerge as reflexive responses to rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), relational trauma, and the need for social safety. You'll learn the neurobiology of rejection, the health costs of chronic perfectionism, and how to shift from performance and people-pleasing into embodied wholeness. The episode offers practical tools and empowering frameworks for understanding the somatic roots of perfectionism and reclaiming your internal safety and authenticity. This is a deeply validating conversation for anyone who's ever felt like they had to earn love, approval, or belonging through being “perfect.” Topics discussed in this episode: Why perfectionism is a survival response, not a personality trait How rejection sensitivity forms in the nervous system The difference between perfectionism and growth-oriented excellence Why our brains respond to social rejection like physical pain The “garden” metaphor for complex trauma and coping How societal systems reinforce performance-based self-worth Chronic illness and the cost of emotional suppression The link between self-sacrifice and autoimmune conditions Why the nervous system must be regulated before healing perfectionism How somatic work shifts self-rejection into self-acceptance The paradox of people-pleasing and codependency Reclaiming energy and creativity from high-resource coping mechanisms Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ To learn more about Piper Rose and Shadow Play coaching, head to https://piperrosecoaching.com/  Connect with Piper on Instagram by heading to https://www.instagram.com/shadowplaycoaching/ Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

    This episode of the Crux True Survival Stories Podcast examines the events of July 26, 2003, when a lightning strike on Grand Teton's Exum Ridge triggered what became known as the most spectacular rescue in American mountaineering history. Thirteen climbers from an Idaho health products company were ascending the technical route at 13,000 feet when a massive lightning bolt struck the granite ridge at 3:35 PM. The strike killed 27-year-old Erica Summers instantly and left multiple climbers with severe injuries scattered across the cliff face. Rodrigo "Rod" Liberal was trapped hanging upside down and unconscious from a single piece of climbing gear over a thousand-foot drop. The episode chronicles the complex rescue operation led by Jenny Lake Rangers, including helicopter pilot Lawrence Perry and rescue specialists Leo Larson and Craig Holm. Using short-haul helicopter techniques in deteriorating weather conditions, the team worked against approaching darkness and storms to evacuate the injured climbers one by one. Hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen analyze the factors that contributed to the disaster—the group's late start, inadequate anchoring systems, and the unpredictable nature of mountain weather—while detailing the technical precision required for high-altitude cliff rescues. The discussion includes insights from Jennifer Woodley's book "Bolt from the Blue," which documented the minute-by-minute rescue efforts, and explores how this incident influenced modern mountain rescue protocols and safety education. The episode serves as both a case study in wilderness survival and a testament to the specialized skills of mountain rescue professionals. 00:00 Welcome to the Crux True Survival Story Podcast 00:30 The Grand Teton Climbing Disaster Begins 04:49 The Lightning Strike and Immediate Aftermath 08:08 The Incredible Rescue Operation 14:22 The Aftermath and Lessons Learned 29:00 Historical Significance of the Exim Ridge 32:24 Closing Thoughts and Future Stories 36:03 Listener Engagement and Farewell http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ References Primary Sources American Alpine Club Publications "Lightning, Poor Position—Late Start, Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park, Grand Teton" (2003 Accident Report) Available at: publications.americanalpineclub.org Contemporary News Reports Chicago Tribune - "Lightning kills 1, injures 5 climbing at Grand Teton" (July 28, 2003) UPI - "Grand Teton climber killed" (July 27, 2003) Deseret News - "Rescuers scramble as climbers pray" (October 20, 2003) Deseret News - "Rescue of dangling climber a delicate task" (October 21, 2003) Spokesman-Review - "Tragedy on the Tetons" (July 25, 2004) Book Source Woodlief, Jennifer A Bolt from the Blue: The Epic True Story of Danger, Daring, and Heroism at 13,000 Feet Simon & Schuster, 2012 ISBN: 9781451607086 Additional Sources Outside Magazine "Struck" - Feature article on the incident Available at: outsideonline.com Casper Star-Tribune "Identities of lightning strike victims released" (2003)

    Join us for an inspiring episode of the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast as we sit down with Ravi—a fellow Kidney Warrior whose story is one of courage, connection, and unshakeable will. From his unexpected diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) to life on dialysis, Ravi opens up about the challenges and triumphs that have shaped his journey.   What began as a routine post-holiday health concern quickly became a life-altering revelation. Ravi walks us through the early warning signs, the shock of diagnosis, and the complexities of seeking care amid a global pandemic. As dialysis buddies turned friends, Ravi and our host share a powerful camaraderie that highlights the strength found in community.   In this candid conversation, Ravi speaks openly about the physical, mental, and emotional toll of CKD—detailing side effects, collapsing from poor health, and the resilience needed to push through. Balancing a demanding career in IT, he reveals how he copes with the daily realities of dialysis and the hope of an eventual transplant.   Whether you're newly diagnosed or supporting someone with CKD, Ravi's insights offer encouragement, practical advice, and heartfelt wisdom. He champions the importance of early detection, mental well-being, and finding purpose amidst the struggle.

    Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11 and later with end-stage renal disease, Suzanne drew on her personal experience to write an MSc thesis exploring the lived challenges of adhering to a highly restrictive dialysis diet. Following her kidney transplant, she was struck by the lack of clear nutrition guidance for transplant recipients, making the transition to managing her new kidney particularly difficult. Determined to fill this gap, she conducted research to develop evidence-based dietary guidelines, which she published in Transplant International and presented at the European Keto Live Conference in Switzerland.
