Sometimes life forces you to hit the pause button. Not because you wanted to, but because your body says, “sit down honey, we’ve got work to do.”

After nearly two decades of podcasting, we thought we’d seen it all, until this summer, when I had emergency eye surgery to save my vision, and Marc had his heart shocked back into rhythm after a scary bout of atrial fibrillation.

Between the two of us, we had enough hospital bracelets to start our own line of jewelry. 

But through all of it, we learned a few things: about getting older, facing fear, and finding humor when life gets dizzy or blurry.

On today’s show, we’re sharing what really happened, what we learned about resilience and love, and how to keep your sense of humor when the road gets bumpy. 

It’s our comeback episode: I Almost Went Blind, a story about healing, gratitude, and seeing life in a whole new light. <3
