World Heart Day ❤️

For some of us, the heart is more than a symbol.

It’s appointments, medications, procedures, hard days, good days, fear, gratitude, and learning how to keep living a full life alongside something you never asked for.

Today I’m thinking about every person living with heart disease; especially the parts of it no one else can see.

Take care of your heart. And take care of the person carrying it. 🤍✨

If I had chosen to end my life during any of the moments over the past 22 years when the pain and isolation of living with HCM and heart failure felt unbearable, I wouldn’t be here talking to you today.

I wouldn’t have had the chance to turn so much of that pain into service, to build a community for people who have felt as alone as I once did, or to travel all the way to London to create holistic content—including a sound bath specifically for people living with heart disease.

I couldn’t see any of those moments ahead of me when I was in the darkest parts of my story. I couldn’t see the people I hadn’t met yet, the places I hadn’t been, or the purpose I hadn’t discovered. And that’s something I remind myself of now: we have no idea what beautiful, meaningful parts of our story simply haven’t happened yet. ❤️

It’s a privilege to be alive, even with heart disease. So I choose happy. Not because I have to. Not because it changes what I live with. But because I’m alive, and I still get to choose. 🤍

Heart disease has a way of reminding you that “someday” isn’t promised. So wear the thing, take the trip, say I love you, dance when you can, rest when you need to, and stop waiting for life to begin.

You’re already in it. ❤️

Choose joy anyway

08/21/2026

Heart disease taught me that there is no perfect time to live.

There’s no waiting until my body feels better. Until life feels easier. Until I have more money. Until I’m less scared. Until everything finally falls into place.

So I just do it.

Sad? Doing it.
Happy? Doing it.
Scared? Doing it.
Broke? Still doing it.
Exhausted? Doing what I can.

Because when you live with heart disease, you realize how much life gets wasted waiting for the “right” circumstances.

Sometimes you have to do it messy. Do it uncertain.
Do it without knowing how it’s all going to work out.

Just fu***ng do it.

I didn’t fight this hard to be here just to wait to live. ❤️

Choose Happy was never about pretending everything is okay.

It’s about realizing that even when you can’t choose the diagnosis, the setbacks, the fear, or what your body does next…

you can still choose how you meet your life.

Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up.
It means letting go of the fight with what already is.

The bump in the road isn’t the end of the road.

You’re still here. So what are you going to do with it? ❤️

Choose Happy. Choose to live.

In 2025, we did something we had never done before. ❤️

We brought heart disease patients together for 3 nights and 4 days, not to talk only about medications, procedures, numbers, or what our hearts physically couldn’t do.

We came together to care for the part of heart disease that doesn’t always get treated: the person living inside the diagnosis.

Our first-ever Twice the Heart Patient Retreat was filled with guided meditation and visualization, sound baths, yoga, Kundalini and gong, SEL workshops, emotional release, connection, laughter, tears, and space to finally exhale.

Because heart disease doesn’t just happen to your heart. It can change the way you see your body. Your future. Your safety. Your identity. Your entire life.

And healing deserves to include all of that.

For four days, we practiced what it could look like to move from simply surviving heart disease to learning how to live with it, process it, and find ourselves again within it.

This little video holds the beginning of something I believe in with my whole heart. And I will keep sharing more bits 🤍

Treat the heart. Heal the human. ❤️

The first retreat was only the beginning.

TRY THIS WITH ME — EP. 01 🤍

Sometimes healing doesn’t need to start with understanding everything.

Sometimes it starts with 45 seconds.

A breath.
A little movement.
A journal prompt.
A moment to come back into your body.

“Try This With Me” is a new series where I’ll share small practices you can actually do with me, especially in the moments when living with heart disease, illness, fear, or simply being human feels heavy.

No pressure to do it perfectly.
No pretending everything is okay.

Just: try this with me.

Save this one for when you need somewhere to begin. 🤍

Length: 45–60 seconds
Practice: Grounding + breath
Visual: You seated somewhere calm, looking directly into the camera. No elaborate setup. It should feel like you’re doing it with them rather than teaching them.

Feel what’s underneath you.

Let your shoulders drop.

Breathe in gently through your nose…
and let it out slowly.

Again.

You don’t have to figure out tomorrow right now.
You don’t have to figure out your diagnosis.
You don’t have to figure out your whole life.

Right now, you’re just here.

One breath.
One moment.
One thing at a time.
