Four years ago today… I was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure.
And nobody believed me.
Because it was April Fools.
But there was nothing funny about it.
That day didn’t just expose my health…
It exposed me.
Not because I didn’t like myself —
but because I didn’t even know who I was.
The only version of me I recognized…
was the underachieving version.
The one who settled.
The one who numbed.
The one who avoided becoming.
So I had to do something most people never do:
Start from scratch.
In this episode of Road to Victory, I reflect on the moment everything changed — and the identity crisis that followed.
We talk about:
• Being diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure on April Fools
• What it feels like when people don’t take your reality seriously
• The difference between self-hate and lack of self-awareness
• Living as an underachieving version of yourself
• Why sometimes you have to tear everything down and rebuild
• What it means to finally start walking into your wildest dreams
This episode isn’t about sickness.
It’s about awakening.
Because sometimes life doesn’t break you…
It reveals you.
And if you’re willing to start over…
You might finally meet the person you were meant to be.
Welcome to the Road to Victory.
