His episode gets personal. I’m opening up about something most people don’t see — my heart condition, called Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, or CPVT for short. It’s a rare genetic condition that affects how my heart reacts to stress, adrenaline, and even strong emotions. For me, that means learning to live with limits that don’t always make sense to others — and figuring out how to still chase everything I love without pushing too far.

I discuss when I first found out, what it’s like managing it day-to-day, and how it has changed the way I think about health, ambition, and self-acceptance. It’s not always easy to slow down when your heart wants to race ahead — literally — but this episode is about learning balance, patience, and strength in ways I never expected.

If you’ve ever dealt with something invisible that shapes your life, or if you’ve struggled to find peace in a body that doesn’t always cooperate, this story might hit close to home. It’s not just about a diagnosis — it’s about resilience, perspective, and learning to keep going, even when the rhythm changes.
