Acerca de Air of Optimism

Air of Optimism is a 6 episode collection of conversations with my incredible friend, Bernadette. Bern was born with Cystic Fibrosis in 1967 - a time when very little was known about the disease. Bern has an incredible attitude and drive to survive. Please join us as we walk through her life from early childhood, to becoming a Registered Nurse, to pregnancy and ultimately receiving a lung transplant. We explore life after transplant and have an incredibly touching conversation with Bern’s daughter who is now 24. I would tell you to grab a tissue however, I think you will see that Bernadette’s ”air of optimism” in everything she shares is contagious and uplifting. This journey is also a tribute to science and the incredible advancements related to the detection and treatment of CF resulting in an amazing expansion of quality and quantity of life!

Episode 2 - The Teen years - "I want to be a NURSE"

Episode 2 takes us through Bern's teen years and the decision to go to nursing school. We learn about a guardian angel who helped make that a reality. In this episode, we see how Cystic Fibrosis began taking it's toll and shaping her future. One point of clarification in this episode - Bern is Canadian. When we reference how she discovered she was diabetic, we reference a high blood sugar in mmol/L instead of mg/dl. 20 mmol/L is equivalent to 360mg/dl.
