In this deeply personal episode, I share the unexpected journey of undergoing my first-ever surgery—a sudden appendectomy that landed me in the hospital for the first time in my life. Having never dealt with major health issues before, this experience opened my eyes to the reality of life on both sides of the hospital bed—what it's like being a patient, and what nurses deal with every day.

I reflect on the business side of healthcare, my conversation with a kind nurse named Ednor, and the sobering realization of how fragile life really is. Most of all, I open up about the burnout I didn’t know I was carrying—from overworking, chasing dreams nonstop, and never giving myself room to breathe.

This was more than just a medical emergency—it was a wake-up call. Tune in as I talk about slowing down, finding gratitude in stillness, and learning to take care of myself before anything else.
