Sick and Seeking
Sick and Seeking is hosted by Leslie Field who, after a diagnosis in her late teens of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), has been on a 22-year journey of healing and self-discovery.
In this podcast, Leslie invites you to join her for intimate, honest and heartfelt conversations with others who are also on their own healing journeys as they live with and manage the long-term effects of “dis-ease” in the body.
Listen to the stories of courageous people who, in the face of an uncertain medical future, are on a quest to go deeper into their bodies, beyond symptom and diagnosis—or in some cases no diagnosis—to reach a place of intuitive knowing, healing and transformation.
This podcast is, above all, an exploration in healing and examines a variety of modalities and knowledge from conventional medicine to holistic and complementary therapies that bring a spiritual, psychological and mystical perspective to bodily healing in our modern culture.

On this episode of the Sick and Seeking Podcast, I speak with dear friend Nicole Moyer about what it’s like living with a variety of health issues including: Cystic Fibrosis; Type 1 Diabetes; Hashimotos Disease; Cervical Cancer; Chronic Kidney Stones and Kidney Failure
Even with these many health conditions, Nikki approaches life with humor, positivity and prayer. She shines a brilliant light into the world with her huge heart, and I’m blessed to call her my friend.
We speak about:

- Invisible illness and how people would never know about Nikki’s health conditions
- What is cystic fibrosis and how it impacts the body
- The miracle drug Tricalfta, released in 2019, which significantly helped improve Nikki’s lung function
- The life expectancy of people diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
- Fear and trauma connected to the hospitals
