In this week’s episode, Dougie takes us back to those first few weeks after his heart attack — when recovery was still new, quiet, and uncertain.

He talks about rebuilding life one small habit at a time: gentle mornings filled with gratitude, coffee, and stillness.
 And yes — the little puppy who arrived right when he needed company most.

This isn’t about morning motivation or productivity. It’s about calm.
 It’s about the quiet moments that slowly start to rebuild your confidence, your rhythm, and your strength — inside and out.

🎧 Listen now to Episode 9: The New Morning Routine — Creating calm in the chaos, one gentle morning at a time.
