This has to be the most wholesome podcast episode of all time. Join us as Rachel interviews her little sister, Nellie! She's not your average 10-year-old. Nellie Mainor has a rare kidney disease called Dense Deposit Disease. Before her kidney transplant in August, she would do 5-hour treatments of Hemodialysis for a year (three days a week) and two years of Peritoneal Dialysis, which were 10-12 hour treatments every day. EVERY DAY. It's been a rough few years for this little trooper, but that hasn't stopped her from living her best life! She constantly chooses to be happy and positive, which is mind-blowing to her big sister, Rachel, because of all the struggles she has watched Nellie go through. What a hero! We could all use some positivity, especially right now. Nellie's simple, yet profound advice is sure to warm your heart and make your day. Don't miss it! We want to hear from you!
