Hi there — I’m Dougie. I share honest conversations from my own recovery — the fear, the head noise, and the slow rebuild back to confidence.
Hi, I’m Dougie. I had a heart attack 10 years ago, and this podcast is the honest side of recovery — the fear, the head noise, the loneliness, and the slow rebuild back to confidence.
I’m genuinely happy to say there’s a growing library of episodes here now — and if you’re finding your feet, you’ll hear something familiar.
If you’re new here, start with these first three episodes — they’ll help you feel less alone in what you’re carrying.
The hospital stay is over — but the storm might just be beginning. I share the unspoken fears men face in the silence of recovery.
