When the world shut down, the danger outside my door was more than a headline—it was a direct threat to my life. After a year of unemployment, I was finally cleared to return to work. Job offers came quickly, but so did the rising fear of a virus that had already claimed far too many lives. As an immunocompromised kidney transplant recipient, catching Covid-19 felt like a guaranteed death sentence.

In this episode, I revisit the impossible choice I had to make: step back into the workforce and risk everything, or stay home and protect the life I fought so hard to keep. My family and I chose safety, sheltering ourselves with the kind of caution that felt closer to living in a bunker than a home.

This is a story about fear, faith, family, and the quiet cost of survival.
