Healing From a Broken Heart

To honor Heart Disease month, I sat down with my dear friend, Heidi House for an interview.

She speaks openly and candidly about an experience that should have been full of joy, but rather left her physically and emotionally with a broken heart. With preeclampsia followed by a diagnosis of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, in a matter of hours, her whole world changed. Listen to hear her devastating story unfold as she describes their infertility struggles, the blessing of a twin pregnancy, then her need for a stat cesarean section after a full cardiac arrest followed by the unexpected, sudden loss of their beautiful daughter, Emery.

You will not believe what Heidi and her husband Brodie have been through. But, mostly, you will be amazed by the awe inspiring bravery and resiliency of Heidi and how she has risen up beyond their devastation to not only save herself, but other mothers as well. We had so much to talk about, that we ended up splitting up our conversation into 2 episodes. So sit back, grab some tissues, and I hope you enjoy my conversation with the amazing, Heidi House.
