About this listen

In Episode 2 of this 3-part podcast series, Rhys' life takes an unexpected turn when he suffers a stroke, leading him to experience a profound and humbling realization about the fragility of life. As he struggles with the sensation of being trapped in his own body, unable to communicate or move, Rhys faces a devastating diagnosis: cardiomyopathy, a condition that requires a heart transplant for survival.

In this powerful episode, Rhys shares the emotional rollercoaster of coming to terms with his condition, and the life-altering moment when he understood just how miraculous and precious a heart truly is. He reflects on the unimaginable pain a family must endure to give the gift of life through organ donation, and the overwhelming gratitude he feels for the second chance he’s been given. Rhys’ journey is a poignant reminder of resilience, the deep connections we share, and the profound impact of life’s most unexpected challenges.

Stay Tuned for Episode 3, where Rhys shares his inspiring recovery journey and the medical tragedy that strikes his wife, adding yet another layer to their remarkable story of love.
