Mike, Kitty and Emma discuss the impact of Mike's out of hospital cardiac arrest, and how he often feels that he has no support network of his own.

In this heartfelt episode of Ordinary Life, Kitty and Emma welcome back Kitty’s husband, Mike, to share his remarkable story of survival after a sudden cardiac arrest in 2020. One moment he was racing his motorbike; the next, he was clinically dead for over half an hour. Against all odds, Mike pulled through — but life since has been far from simple.

Together, the trio talk about trauma, recovery, invisible disabilities, and redefining identity after life-changing events. Mike opens up about brain fatigue, loss of work, and the slow process of accepting a “new normal,” while Kitty and Emma reflect on caregiving, resilience, and humour through hardship.

A raw, honest, and unexpectedly uplifting conversation about survival, love, and living differently when life refuses to go to plan.
