In today's episode of the Too Posh Podcast, we have the honor of welcoming the remarkable Selwa Mitchell and her unwavering support system, her husband Scott Mitchell. Together, we embark on a captivating journey through Selwa's life, which we will be sharing in chapters, with the goal of turning it into a book.

In Chapter 1, we delve into Selwa's extraordinary life story, marked by her indomitable spirit and strength. Diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at the tender age of 3, Selwa defied all odds as the life expectancy for those with the condition was a mere 7 years back then. Her parents instilled in her the belief that she could achieve anything, albeit through hard work and determination. They encouraged her to embrace life without limitations, even placing her in dance to keep her active.

Throughout her childhood, Selwa underwent rigorous treatments, including manual manipulations and the initially disliked treatment vest. Yet, she never let her condition define her; she viewed herself as strong, fighting a relentless battle against Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that silently attacks various organs, including the lungs, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. For Selwa, this invisible struggle posed challenges as she concealed her condition from others, including Scott, whom she initially tried to shield from her vulnerability.

However, Scott's unwavering support and love shattered those walls, transforming Selwa's perspective on her condition. Instead of seeing it as a vulnerability, she now draws strength from it, viewing it as a testament to her resilience. She emphasizes the importance of finding those who unconditionally accept you, as not everyone is willing to embrace the complexities of her life.

Join us as Selwa and Scott recount their serendipitous meeting on St. Patrick's Day, and the difficulties she faced in past relationships due to her condition. Scott's acceptance and commitment to be by Selwa's side through thick and thin serve as a heartwarming testament to their enduring love.

This episode offers a glimpse into Selwa's life as she navigates two distinct chapters: her life with Cystic Fibrosis and her life post-transplants. Contrary to common misconceptions, life post-transplants presents its own set of challenges, as Selwa seeks her third transplant. She shares her experiences of receiving her first and second lung transplants and the unexpected setbacks she faced, along with her current quest for a third transplant.

Selwa's journey is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of unwavering support in the face of adversity. Stay tuned for Chapter 2 of this inspiring story as we continue to explore the extraordinary lives of Selwa Mitchell and Scott.
