Not just once—but six times. I’ve survived six heart attacks, and that’s not something you hear every day. But more than anything, I’ve survived life—the tough parts, the scary diagnoses, and the emotional rollercoasters that come with them.

​

I live with two rare conditions—Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD), which makes the main blood vessels in my body soft and twisty (a bit like the rest of me!), and SCAD (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection). Together, they’ve been the root of my heart attacks.

 

Every day I wake up truly thankful to still be here. And that gratitude? It fuels me.

​

Life isn’t always easy—but it is beautiful. I can’t change the hand I’ve been dealt, but I can choose how I play it. I work hard every day to stay positive, not by pretending everything is perfect, but by embracing everything that makes me real—the ups, the downs, the joy, the anxiety, the laughter, and the tears.

​

I live life on my own terms. I don’t follow rules just for the sake of them, and I don’t try to fit in a box I was never meant to be in.

Some days I paint.

Some days I write.

Some days I simply rest.

But every day, I show up—with honesty, with courage, and with whatever energy I’ve got.

​

And now, I’m here to help you. Whether you need a spark of hope, a reminder to love yourself a little more, or just someone to walk alongside you—you’ve found your place here.

Let’s make today count. SB x
