Today we’re honored to welcome the author of “Sonata for a Damaged Heart”, Kisha Stewart. In 2011, Kisha suffered a heart attack at an abnormally young age of 31, only two weeks after having a child. In this episode, we discuss some of her experiences that she outlines in this moving memoir, the concept of strong woman syndrome, what it means to live in the in between, and why pregnancy is the ultimate stress test for your heart and what you need to do to be ready for it. Kisha shares her experience so that she can be an advocate for someone else when it happens to them and they need someone to have their back. Be sure to follow her on Instagram and pick up “Sonata for a Damaged Heart” for yourself. 0:52 - Intro to Kisha & Sonata for a Damage Heart6:40 - The experience of the Heart Attack and Hospital Stay11:50 - Healing and Taking Care of Yourself, Superhero Syndrome15:00 - Pregnancy is the Heart’s Greatest Stress Test19:00 - Becoming an Advocate for others22:20 - “Living Between”30:00 - Seeking Mental Health help for Physical Ailments34:25 - Kisha’s words of wisdom Hosted on Acast.
