In Part 1, I shared my experiences living with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia — or CPVT — and how it has changed the way I perceive my body, my limits, and my goals. In Part 2, I go deeper into what comes after the diagnosis: the learning, the adapting, and the reality of building a life around something that never really goes away.
This episode is about the everyday balance — managing medication, dealing with stress, and knowing when to slow down even when my mind says “go.” It’s also about finding power in awareness instead of fear, and understanding that strength doesn’t always look like pushing harder; sometimes it’s knowing when to rest.
I share what I’ve learned from doctors, my own experiences, and the moments that tested my patience the most. But more than that, this episode is about hope — about realizing that CPVT doesn’t define me, it just reminds me to live differently.
If you’ve ever had to adjust your dreams, rebuild your routines, or find peace inside uncertainty, you’ll relate to this one. Follow @NGLIwithAndrew for more episodes that get real about the challenges we don’t always talk about — because this journey is still unfolding, and I’m bringing you along for every beat of it.
