"I became a living upcycled human." A Liver Transplant Gave Me a Second Life.
Update: 2025-01-27
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.
QUOTES:
“Mindset is like the one thing you have control of, and in my view, it's one of the single most powerful things that one can do.”
