What happens when a miracle drug gives you back your future, but your mind is still built for a shorter life?

In this moving episode of Breathless, host Jeremie and guests dive into the \"mental health fallout\" of growing up with Cystic Fibrosis. For decades, the CF community focused on one goal: survival. But with the arrival of Trikafta, many are facing a new, unexpected existential crisis. We explore the architecture of growing up sick, the trauma of living with an \"expiration date,\" and the difficult reckoning that occurs when the horizon of your life suddenly shifts from years to decades.

Featuring clinical psychologist Dr. Jodi Carrington, CF advocate Lauren Clift, and CF Canada CEO Kelly Grover, this episode pulls back the curtain on the psychological complexity of being \"saved\" and the urgent need to invest in the mind with the same intensity we’ve invested in the lungs.
