Stop Thinking, Start Living – Jaycee’s Story of Post-Transplant PTSD, Reinvention & Resilience

Kristen Diorio Season 1 Episode 11

Edited to exactly 1:11 (because we love a little magic in the numbers), this episode dives deeper into Jaycee’s extraordinary journey. We talk about what life really looks like after surviving a five-organ transplant—from the silent struggle of PTSD to the identity shifts that follow.

Jaycee opens up about rediscovering herself through hair, makeup, and building a community online. She shares how her creativity became a form of healing, and how her mom’s no-nonsense advice—“Stop thinking and start living”—became a powerful turning point.

This is a raw, inspiring conversation about redefining womanhood after trauma, making peace with a body that’s been through hell, and the courage it takes to keep showing up.
