Dating is hard enough, but what happens when you’re navigating relationships while living with Chronic Kidney Disease?
In Episode 80 of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, host Dee Moore, continues the Love, Relationships & CKD series with an honest, compassionate conversation about dating with CKD.
Dee is joined by Rob Sieradzki, who previously shared his kidney journey in Episode 78. In this episode, Rob opens up about the real-life highs, lows, fears and hopes of dating while living with kidney disease. Together, they explore the emotional, physical, and social challenges that often come with CKD, including confidence, disclosure, fatigue, comorbid conditions, and the fear of rejection, while also highlighting resilience, connection and the possibility of love.
This episode is Part 2 of a two-part interview, focusing specifically on dating with CKD. In Part 2 the conversation continues with Rob’s work supporting others through the CKD Dating UK community.
✨ In this episode, we discuss:
The realities of dating with chronic kidney disease
Confidence, self-worth, and body image with CKD
When and how to disclose your diagnosis when dating
The emotional impact of illness on relationships
Finding hope, connection, and understanding while living with CKD
Why community support matters when navigating love and chronic illness
This episode is for anyone living with kidney disease, those dating someone with CKD, loved ones, and health professionals who want deeper insight into the lived experience beyond the clinic.
💚 You are not alone — and your diagnosis does not define your worth.
