🧠 Season 2, Episode 1 Description After being told I needed brain surgery, everything shifted. In this episode, I take you beyond the moment of diagnosis and into the quiet, often overlooked aftermath, the days where life continues moving forward, but mentally and emotionally, everything feels different. I was no longer just living with a brain tumor under a “watch and wait” plan. Now, I was living with the reality that I would have to choose a date… a day where everything would change. I share what it felt like to walk through everyday life while carrying that weight in silence. Going to work, staying active, podcasting, and doing the things I loved, all while a constant thought ran in the background: What happens after surgery? Will I be the same? This episode dives into the internal battle that began during this time. The tension between fear and faith. The moments where I tried to stay strong on the outside for my wife and my mom, while internally wrestling with uncertainty, doubt, and the unknown. I also open up about going down the rabbit hole, searching for answers, watching stories of both hope and hardship, which only made the emotional conflict even deeper. More than anything, this episode is about that turning point, when something that once felt like a possibility becomes real. When you can no longer avoid it. When you have to start asking yourself deeper questions about strength, purpose, and belief. This is the beginning of a new chapter in my journey, not just physically, but mentally and spiritually.
