In this episode of I'm in Control, I share one of the scariest moments of my life: battling sepsis and surviving a week-long coma. From waking up shackled to a hospital bed, learning my kidneys were failing, and refusing dialysis, to the emotional toll of cardiac arrest and CPR, this chapter is about confronting life-and-death challenges head-on.


It’s also about rediscovering strength, both physical and emotional, as I slowly rebuild my life with the help of rehab, my loved ones, and my unstoppable determination.
