My Mission
I don’t write to instruct—I write to heal.
To tell the truth about a heart broken open, and the life that grew from it.
My stories are invitations, not directions.
They rise from the quiet teachings of life itself—grief, joy, change, and the long work of becoming whole.
If you find yourself in them, then perhaps your own heart has already begun to mend.
One year ago, my heart delivered a wake-up call I couldn’t ignore. A supraventricular tachycardia episode led to a shocking discovery—coronary artery disease with a 74% blockage in my left anterior descending (LAD) artery, also known as the Widowmaker. Thanks to treatment and lifestyle changes, my condition has greatly improved, but I know heart disease doesn’t rest. And so, neither will I. With a deep commitment to aggressive medication, aggressive nutrition, and full-hearted determination, I’m exploring just how much I can reverse my condition—not just for myself, but as a tribute to the family members I’ve lost too soon to this disease.
I believe that what we resist, persists, and that healing isn’t about fighting—it’s about understanding. Instead of battling my diagnosis, I’ve chosen to make peace with my disease, to learn from it, and to work with my body in a way that minimizes its impact. I call this journey Unwriting the Story of My Heart Disease—a process of healing, learning, and reshaping my future with intention, science, and hope.
Through this blog, I’ll be sharing my journey—the highs, the struggles, and everything I learn along the way. Whether you’re facing heart disease yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for inspiration to live a healthier life, I hope you’ll find something here that resonates. This is about more than just my story—it’s about all of us learning how to live longer, stronger, and with more joy. Welcome, and thank you for being here.
