Episode 29 —Small Wins: How I Measure Progress After a Heart Attack
After a heart attack, progress doesn’t always look the way you expect it to.
There are no big milestones.
No dramatic breakthroughs.
Just small wins… every day.
In this episode of Stronger After The Storm, I share how my understanding of progress changed during recovery — and why the small, often unnoticed moments became the most important signs that I was rebuilding.
Because recovery isn’t about getting back to normal.
It’s about recognising when things are starting to feel steadier again.
In this episode
• Why progress feels different after a heart attack
• Letting go of old ways of measuring success
• The small signs that show you’re moving forward
• Learning to recognise and trust those moments
• Building quiet confidence through everyday wins
