Description

When Jasper underwent a liver transplant in 2015, he didn’t just survive; he transformed. In this deeply human story, Jasper calls himself a “living upcycled human,” and shares what it means to carry a second chance inside your body.



Host Sean Loots explores the emotional, physical, and spiritual journey that follows major medical change; the fear, the gratitude, and the quiet shift that happens when you realise you’ve been rebuilt from the inside out.



In this episode:

- Jasper’s raw reflections on life before and after his liver transplant

- How facing death can reframe what it means to live

- Lessons in resilience, gratitude, and letting go

- Finding meaning in the label “upcycled human”



This story is for anyone navigating recovery, transplant life, or simply trying to make sense of who they’ve become after a major change.
