About this listen
Three Strikes. And Still Beating.
A heart attack. Cardiac arrest. Heart valve replacement.
I survived all three—and now I’m left dealing with the debris they scattered across my life.
This isn’t a podcast about advice, inspiration, or being strong. It’s just me, trying to make sense of what happened—physically, emotionally, spiritually—and saying the things I couldn’t say in the moment.
Each episode is a raw, irreverent, sometimes messy reflection on life after your heart breaks down—literally. Dark humor is my way through the absurdity. Family, faith, work, identity—nothing stays untouched.
I’m not here to teach anything. I’m just speaking out loud, because it helps.
This podcast wouldn’t exist without the support of the medical community. I poke fun at the system—but make no mistake: I have the deepest respect for the doctors, nurses, techs, and EMTs who kept me alive (and put up with my sarcasm along the way).
I’m also grateful to the companies and colleagues I’ve worked with—especially those who stepped up with grace, patience, and empathy while I was going through the worst.
It’s not for everyone. But if you’ve been through something that flipped your world upside down and left you wondering, “Now what?”—this might be for you.
Beaten by life. Still beating.
