There are moments in life that divide your story into two parts: before… and after.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Dr Carol takes you beyond the metaphor and into the moment her life changed forever—the day she paused being the doctor advising others… and became the patient fighting for her own life.

What began as an ordinary working day quickly unfolded into a life-threatening emergency. No obvious risk factors. No dramatic warning. Just a subtle discomfort that was easy to dismiss—until it wasn’t.

From the driver’s seat of her car to the realities of A&E and the catheter lab, this episode walks you through the raw, unfiltered experience of a major heart attack—including the physical symptoms, the emotional turmoil, and the unsettling reality of not being fully believed.

This is more than a medical story—it is also a testimony of grace, resilience, and the triumph of life preserved.

It is a story about:

• The hidden dangers of “pushing through”

• How heart attacks can present differently—especially in women

• The myth that serious illness happens to “other people”

• The cost of resilience when it comes at the expense of our wellbeing

• And the life-altering shift from survival to true wholeness

With honesty, faith, and hard-won insight, Dr Carol reflects on what it means to listen—to your body, to your limits, and to the quiet warnings we so often ignore.

This episode may change how you think about your health.
