Have you ever kept pushing through the moment your body was already telling you to stop?

In this episode, Lauren Dry, Master Marriage Coach and founder of Rise into Regulation™, talks with Jeff Luther, an entrepreneur and father of three who collapsed at a CrossFit gym in front of his teenage son and had no pulse for eight minutes. He was later diagnosed with ARVC, a rare heart condition that ended the intense exercise he'd built his identity around.

Jeff and Lauren explore what we're really avoiding when we keep pushing and performing, and what it takes to stop before life forces the issue. Jeff also opens up about his divorce, which he describes as grief for a future rather than grief for a person.

You'll hear about

• What a cardiac arrest actually feels like in your body
• Why high achievers bury what they can't control in what they can
• The real difference between vulnerability and exposure
• Grieving a future instead of a person after divorce
• Why connection beats control when everything falls away

Most wake up calls tap on the door for years before life forces us to answer. Jeff's story is a reminder that the version of you that keeps pushing is not the same as the version of you that's actually safe and connected.
