This week on the podcast, my wife joins me for one of the most meaningful conversations we’ve ever shared publicly.

We talk about her mindset and resilience during the hardest chapter of our lives—my heart transplant—and what it looked like for her to hold everything together while also protecting her own mental and emotional health.

She opens up about:

❤️ Resilience through crisis — how she stayed grounded, hopeful, and strong when everything around us felt uncertain.

🧠 The mindset shift she had to make from “caretaker” to “partner fighting alongside me.”

🛑 Healthy boundaries — the ones she learned to set so she didn’t lose herself while supporting me.

💬 Al-Anon and accountability — how attending meetings changed the way she showed up during my addiction, and how her tough love and consistency played a real part in my sobriety.

🤝 What partnership looks like under pressure, and how we rebuilt trust, communication, and connection on the other side.

Her perspective is powerful, honest, and full of the kind of wisdom you only earn by walking through fire and coming out stronger.

If you’ve ever loved someone through illness, addiction, recovery, or major life upheaval—this conversation will speak to you.
