In this powerful episode, we sit down with artist and cystic fibrosis warrior Dylan Mortimer, whose work transforms chronic illness into radiant, spiritual, and symbolic expressions of hope. From organ transplants to shimmering canvases, Dylan shares how he uses art to breathe meaning into suffering — and how “glitter in the lungs” became a defiant act of beauty in the face of adversity.
We talk resilience, mortality, creativity, faith, and the emotional alchemy of turning breath into brushstrokes. Whether you're living with illness or simply navigating life’s fragility, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

In this deeply moving episode of The Breathe Easy Podcast, host Zachary Roberts is joined by two incredible guests who are redefining what it means to give back.
🔥 Rod, founder of CF Vests Worldwide, shares the story of how one selfless act — giving away his own life-saving vest — sparked a global movement to provide critical respiratory equipment to people with cystic fibrosis in over 60 countries.
🌍 Josh, a devoted father raising a daughter with CF, opens up about his mission to foster abandoned and rescued children in Thailand, blending compassion, faith, and fierce resilience into everyday life.
Together, their stories remind us that purpose can come from pain — and that even when you're gasping for air, you can still breathe life into others.
