In this unforgettable episode, Darin welcomes Chloe Temtchine — award-winning singer, songwriter, and founder of the Chloe Temtchine Foundation. Diagnosed with one of the rarest and most devastating lung diseases on the planet, Chloe was literally given days to live. Sixteen years later, after surviving cardiac arrest, a coma, life support, and ultimately a double lung transplant, Chloe has turned her battle into a mission of hope, resilience, and joy.

Through her Super Brave series, the Smile Tour in pediatric hospitals, and her powerful music, Chloe inspires thousands to embrace life no matter the odds. In this conversation, Chloe shares the mindset shifts, healing practices, and creative expressions that not only helped her survive the impossible — but allowed her to thrive.
