A Big Heart episodes

  • Purpose

    In this episode, we discuss losing a sport, activity, hobby, or anything else we are passionate about because of a heart disease diagnosis or a sudden cardiac arrest. My dream in life was to be a college basketball player. It was about to come true before my cardiac arrest and diagnosis when I was told I will never play basketball again.  I discuss the feelings I had in that moment, my decision to stay around basketball in other ways, and how I learned that basketball was not my only purpose in life and did not define me.
