S5 Ep.5 "Tis The Season"

WHAT I'D DO DIFFERENT

Episode Overview: If I could go back to the day I was diagnosed with kidney disease, what would I do differently? In this episode, I reflect on the lessons that only experience can teach. From asking more questions and learning my treatment options earlier to taking my health more seriously and advocating for myself, I share the things I wish someone had told me from the beginning. Whether you're newly diagnosed, already on dialysis, waiting for a transplant, or supporting someone you love, this conversation is about learning from the journey so you don't have to learn everything the hard way. Because you can't change where you started… but you can change where you're going. #TheWONPodcast #WinsOnly #TheTreatment #KidneyDisease #DialysisLife #PatientVoice #PatientEducation #ChronicIllness #HopeDealer #EveryDayIsAWin Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2032714/support]

S5 Ep.5 "Tis The Season"

Time doesn’t slow down. Seasons change, kids grow, and parents get older right in front of us—sometimes so quietly we don’t notice until we do. This episode is about that pause. About realizing the holidays aren’t just lights and music, but moments. About checking in, showing up, and understanding that the real reason for the season isn’t what’s under the tree,it’s who’s still around it. No rush. No noise. Just perspective. Because time is moving whether we’re ready or not, and love is the one thing worth stopping for. #WinsOnly Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2032714/support]

S5 Ep.4 "Eden Ave."

This week on the Wins Only Podcast I talk about Thanksgiving break and the heavy news of losing Robin Adams, the mother of my friend Nicole Adams. Robin was a dialysis patient who passed during her transplant process and her loss reminds us how fragile this journey can be. I share reflections on grief, family, and the reality that kidney disease does not pause for the holidays. This episode is for anyone who has lost someone too soon and for every family still fighting for hope. Rest in peace Robin Adams. Your strength lives on.

S5 Ep.3 "2:41pm"

Celebrating My Mother’s Life Today’s episode is different. It’s personal. I’m celebrating the life of my mother, Cindia Bowen, a woman whose strength shaped everything I am. This isn’t a story about loss, it’s a story about love, legacy, and the kind of impact that keeps living long after someone’s gone. I talk about who she was, what she poured into me, and how her voice still guides my steps even now. From the quiet moments to the hard lessons, to the way she loved her family… this one is for her. If you’ve ever lost someone close, or if you’re holding onto memories that still push you forward, I hope this episode brings you a little light. Today, I honor my mom.

S5 Ep.2 "Delays & Cancellations"

In this episode of the WinsOnly Podcast with David Rush, I break down what happened when the government shutdown grounded my flight and kept me from hosting the New York Kidney Walk. But instead of frustration it became a reminder about faith, patience, and planning. As a kidney patient, traveling isn’t just about booking a flight, it’s about making sure your treatment, meds, and energy stay aligned. I talk about what went wrong, what I learned, and how we can all build better travel plans to stay ready for anything life throws our way. Because even when plans change, the mission doesn’t stop. #WinsOnly #KidneyStrong #DavidRush #TravelSmart #DialysisLife Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2032714/support]
