Welcome to Episode 40 of Gift of Life – The Organ Donor Podcast. This week, we continue the incredible story we began in Episode 39 with Sue Green, author of Don’t Call My Liver Fat: Liver Transplant 101. Last week, Sue shared her journey of receiving the gift of life—a liver transplant—from her half-sister, Christina Metcalf, whom she had not seen in 30 years.
Today, we’re honored to introduce you to Christina, the extraordinary living donor behind Sue’s second chance at life. In this heartfelt episode, Christina shares her deeply personal and selfless decision to donate a part of her liver. From the moment she knew this was what she wanted to do, through the rigorous testing process, to the day of surgery and her inspiring recovery, Christina’s story is a testament to courage, love, and the power of family.
Christina is also an author, though her latest book is not about organ donation. She recently released The Glinda Principle, a thought-provoking guide that encourages readers to find their own inner magic. If you’d like to check it out, you can find it here: The Glinda Principle (case sensitive).
Tune in to hear Christina’s incredible journey of giving the ultimate gift—the gift of life—and learn how her story might inspire you to consider organ donation or support this life-changing cause.
Thank you for listening, and as always, don’t forget to share this episode with friends, family, or anyone who might need a little extra hope and inspiration today.
