Ep 17 | The Injury No One Warned You About: What to Do With Guilt, Grief, and Growth with Dr. Abigail Powell

From her husband’s mandated military COVID-19 vaccine and subsequent diagnosis of IgA nephropathy, to her own journey of maternal regret and clinical transformation, this conversation peels back the emotional layers of what it means to rebuild after regret.
