Podcast By Patrick Hong Season 1 Episode 328

Today I share my journey as my mother fought against lupus, a generational illness that affected many in our family. Through resilience and lifestyle changes, we faced tremendous challenges and found hope in the darkest times. My story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset, community, and support, we can break generational cycles and overcome adversity. 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Breaking Generational Curses: Patrick is determined to stop lupus from affecting future generations after seeing it impact multiple family members, including his mother. He views this as a mission to break generational cycles.
  2. A Devastating Diagnosis: His mother’s health deteriorates rapidly after taking a physically demanding job, with her lupus only diagnosed after she collapses at the airport, revealing years of undetected illness.
  3. Healthcare System Frustration: Patrick is deeply frustrated with the healthcare system, feeling that it failed his mother by overlooking symptoms until her collapse forced a diagnosis.
  4. A Path to Recovery: Despite intense struggles, his mother finds strength in a daily 10,000-step goal, marking a surprising turnaround that teaches Patrick the power of patience and independence.
  5. Celebrating Resilience and Inspiring Hope: Patrick now views his mother as a "walking miracle," her story fueling his purpose and inspiring others to overcome challenges and break generational patterns.
