Episode 25 – Mind Over Heart: A Simple Toolkit for the Head Noise

After a heart attack, your body can look fine — but your mind may still be on high alert.

In this episode of Stronger After the Storm, I talk about the simple tools that helped steady the head noise in the early weeks of recovery.

Not to silence it.
Not to control it.
But to stop it running the show.

I share:

• The difference between body scanning and real symptoms
• The question that helped interrupt the spiral
• Why rest can feel like guilt
• A simple breathing pattern that steadied panic at 5 AM
• Why recovery is about awareness, not domination

This isn’t theory.
It’s what I used.

If the head noise is lingering, the 7-Day Mind Reset Plan gives you something steady to follow.
