E160: A Legacy of Love: Living Kidney Do...

Jamie Sea
About this episode

A simple sign in a diner changed the course of her life and saved the lives of strangers.

In this heartfelt episode, Jamie sits down with her sister Lindsay Vigue to share the story of how she became a living kidney donor, the ripple effect of her choice, and how it led to her role as Executive Director of Donate Life Connecticut. Together, they talk about the power of saying yes to life, the world of organ donation, and the profound healing that comes from leaving a legacy of love.

You’ll hear stories of hope, generosity, and connection — from a teenager whose decision to be a donor saved five lives, to the moment a mother heard her daughter’s heartbeat inside another person. This episode is an invitation to consider the impact one choice can make and the beauty of living in a way that keeps love alive.
