Episode 28 —The First Holiday After a Heart Attack

The first holiday after a heart attack doesn’t feel the way you expect it to.

What used to feel relaxing can suddenly feel uncertain.
 New surroundings.
 Different routines.
 And that quiet awareness that something has changed.

In this episode of Stronger After The Storm, I reflect on what it was like going away for the first time after my heart attack — the thoughts, the tension, and the small moments that helped rebuild confidence.

Because recovery doesn’t stay at home.
 It follows you wherever you go.

In this episode

• Why holidays can feel different after a heart attack
 • The loss of routine and sense of control
 • The quiet anxiety of being away from home
 • Rebuilding confidence in new environments
 • Finding moments of calm again
