Eternally Amy - A Sober Mom of Eight's Journey from Jail to Joy
Five days before heart surgery, Amy Liz Harrison opens her heart—literally and spiritually. In this intimate solo episode, Amy reflects on mortality, fear, surrender, and the surprising peace found by going inward. Drawing from Christian mysticism, neuroscience, meditation, and lived recovery, she explores what it means to stop striving, let go of outcomes, and find the calm center within—even when everything feels uncertain.This episode isn't about answers. It's about presence. About the heart as both a physical organ and the seat of the soul. And about learning how to do hard things scared.Key TakeawaysWhy heart illness carries a unique emotional weight—and how it mirrors vulnerability itselfHow Christian mysticism and The Interior Castle reframe spiritual transformationThe difference between emotional regulation and emotional suppressionWhy surrender isn't passive—it's courageousHow meditation and the parasympathetic nervous system support healing and peaceKey Timestamps[02:40] — Facing heart surgery and the loss of control[05:20] — Why heart illness feels different than any other diagnosis[08:45] — St. Teresa of Avila and The Interior Castle[13:30] — The nervous system, fear, and emotional regulation[17:05] — Meditation, ADHD, and 175 days of showing up[22:15] — The defibrillator, resentment, and letting go of outcome[27:40] — “Doing it scared” and finding the true centerNotable Resources & MentionsThe Interior Castle — St. Teresa of AvilaFather Richard Rohr — Falling Upward & Immortal DiamondHeartMath InstituteInsight Timer (Amy as meditation teacher)If this episode resonated, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone navigating uncertainty, recovery, or a health journey of their own.Thank you so much for listening to Eternally Amy, a mom of eight's journey from jail to joy.

This week we replay an episode from nearly 2 years ago about an editorial commentary from multiple congenital heart surgical leaders in the US. The topic of their expert opinion piece is the concept of public reporting of results and their 'amplification' through organizations such as US News and World Report, to name one. How has the use of the database from STS been sometimes misinterpreted through public reporting or ranking systems? What was the initial intent of the STS database and how does the present usage of these data differ from the initial intent? Do STS risk adjustment models capture all aspects of risk for patients undergoing surgery and how do deficiencies in this result in unfair 'rankings' of programs? Can we 'take control' of our data and interpret it more clearly and accurately for the public and reduce misusage or misinterpretation of the data? How can public reporting result in improved outcomes? How can 'gaming' of the system be reduced? Dr. Emile Bacha, Professor of Surgery at Columbia University shares his deep insights into a complex and challenging topic.DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023.03.022

This week we review a recent large scale PHIS database study on pericardial effusion following congenital heart surgery. Which operations other than ASD are most highly associated with the development of an effusion? What might be some approaches both surgically and medically to reduce the chances of these developing or requiring intervention? What are the implications of a pericardial effusion after surgery? How many require readmission for this complication? Dr. Mario O'Connor, who is a congenital heart surgical research fellow at UT Austin, shares his insights into his recent publication.

After 18 months of trying to conceive with low AMH levels, Brittany and her husband Braden welcomed their son Tulla at just 28 weeks following a dramatic turn of events.

Brittany's story is one of resilience, advocacy, and the incredible strength of the parent-baby bond formed in the most challenging circumstances. Hosted on Acast.

What if the moment that nearly broke you became the one that set you free? In episode 234 of Joy Found Here, author Megan Michelle shares how life-saving open-heart surgery became the spark for her debut novel Skylark. What began as weeks of darkness turned into a flood of inspiration—a story that would change her life and redefine her purpose.

For the next few weeks, we are going to be doing a very special series featuring some teachings from Pastor Charlene Boyd. We were privileged to have her speak for the Fall Women's Retreat and the word the Lord had her share was so powerful. In the first session from this 3-part series, Pastor Charlene will be talking about five women from the Bible who had to go through heart surgery, and trust the Lord in the process. Each of our experiences and stories are unique, and when God takes us through those periods of growth or "knocking off hard edges" in our hearts, it can be very daunting. But we can always know that He is with us through the process.

This week we review a recent report of the use of phenoxybenzamine for the reduction of SVR in children undergoing congenital heart surgery in India. How does this agent work and what might be the advantage versus other agents like nitroprusside or milrinone which are more commonly used? How does the cost of this agent (or phentolamine) compare with newer agents? We speak with Dr. Rohit Loomba of Lurie Children's Hospital. For those interested, in addition to working as a critical care cardiologist, Dr. Loomba is also a noted cardiac morphologist and his wonderful videos can be seen at the following web address:https://www.youtube.com/@Talking_HeartsToday's paper:DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_868_25
This week we replay an episode from 2 years ago on postoperative ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) following congenital heart surgery in children. Are there risk factors for this arrhythmia and are any modifiable? What is the 'go to' therapy used by the electrophysiologists at Children's LA for the acute and chronic treatment of this arrhythmia in the postoperative period? Is the presence of EAT in a postoperative congenital heart patient a marker for a worse outcome? These are amongst the questions posed to Children's of Los Angeles pediatric electrophysiologist, Dr. Jonathan Uniat. · DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-03068-8

At 35 years old, James Gutman was given just four hours' notice before undergoing a quintuple bypass with no prior health issues, no medications, and no warning signs. But that life-saving operation wasn't the end of his story. It was the beginning of a new one.In this powerful episode of Hi Pod! I'm Dad, James shares how surviving heart surgery changed everything: how he viewed stress, how he approached parenting, and how he discovered a deeper connection with his nonverbal son Lucas through what he now calls “autism appreciation.”Lucas became an emotional mirror, reflecting James's calm or stress back at him, and their bond grew stronger when James stopped trying to control everything and instead entered his son's world. From heart health to emotional growth, this episode is a raw, inspiring look at what happens when life delivers challenges that turn into unexpected gifts.Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/R4NwAimSXJoSubscribe To Hi Blog! on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@hiblogimdad

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Jeff Holden, a patient activist, author of “Imperfect Heart: Stories of Myocardial Bridges,” and host of the “Imperfect Heart” podcast.
Unveiling Myocardial Bridges: A Hidden Cause of Heart Disease with Jeff Holden, a patient activist, author of “Imperfect Heart: Stories of Myocardial Bridges,” and host of the “Imperfect Heart” podcast. Jeff shares his harrowing personal journey with myocardial bridges, a congenital heart condition often overlooked by the medical community. Despite experiencing unexplained cardiac symptoms and undergoing multiple medical tests, Jeff was only diagnosed after a provocative test at Stanford revealed severe vasospasms and a myocardial bridge. Jeff emphasizes the importance of awareness and proper diagnosis of this condition, which can mimic common cardiovascular diseases but requires an entirely different treatment approach. The discussion highlights the need for increased recognition among primary care physicians and cardiologists, the diagnostic challenges, and the impact of this often-ignored condition on patients' lives. This episode aims to educate listeners and promote better understanding and management of myocardial bridges in the medical community.
Navigating the intricate journey of living with a myocardial bridge is no small feat. This episode, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of coping with myocardial bridges and stress the undeniable importance of patience, understanding, and self-advocacy. Heart procedures are anything but predictable, and while some, like the recently unroofed, find hope in successful outcomes, each person's path is uniquely challenging.Let's continue to build a supportive network for those affected by myocardial bridges, underscoring the power of shared stories and experiences. No one should feel isolated on this path, and I encourage you to join the community of those who have shared their stories on the podcast. If you're aware of doctors that might make a great guest, please share their contact information with me as well. I'll connect with them. Strengthening our collective resolve through awareness, positivity, and gratitude we'll continue to push the pace of getting this disease recognized as symptomatic and life threatening. Together we can foster hope and understanding in our community.You can email me directly at jeff@hearmenowstudio.comYou can find the interview with Dr. Ronald Hoffman on the "Intelligent Medicine" website HERE
tackles some of the most urgent and controversial issues shaping our world today—from the cutting edge of medical technology and the AI revolution to gender policy, cultural change, and the debate over reparations. Kicking off with a wild breakthrough in robotic heart transplants, the conversation quickly expands into the rapid-fire disruption of artificial intelligence, how deepfakes and digital mimicry are challenging reality, and why no one should expect the pace of change to slow down. The episode dives headlong into the Supreme Court's ruling on gender-affirming care, questions about the true legacy of feminism, and whether modern societies are undervaluing parenthood and family. With candid commentary on Chicago's reparations plan, the immigrant mindset, and the pitfalls of race-based policy, this episode asks the hard questions, highlights what's at stake, and offers a blueprint for thriving amid chaos and change.

Some years ago, after exchanging heated words, Carolyn and I resolved our conflict through compassion and love for each other. I confessed my wrongdoing, and she prayed for me, referencing Ezekiel 36:26: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” I sensed that God was conducting a form of spiritual heart surgery on me, taking away my fears and bitterness as He enfolded me in His love. God delights for us to engage with the Scriptures as I did back then, but it’s important to note the passage’s original context. Ezekiel spoke on God’s behalf to His people with the promise that He would cleanse them. Why? “It is not for your sake . . . I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name” (v. 22). God would do His purifying work among His people so that all the nations would revere Him and know that He is God. God works His purposes in our lives not only to help us flourish and grow, but so we would bring Him honor. Even as He gave the Israelites the promise of a new heart and a new spirit, so through the inward work of the Holy Spirit, God replaces our cold and hardened hearts with those that receive and share His love and life.

00:46 Millimetre-sized pacemaker fits inside syringeResearchers have developed a tiny, temporary pacemaker that dissolves when no longer needed, helping to overcome some of the challenges associated with current devices. Temporary pacemakers are often required after heart surgery but implanting them can require invasive procedures. This new device is injectable, requires no external power and is controlled using light shone through the skin. The tiny pacemaker has shown promise in animal and heart models, and the team think it could also be used in other situations where electrical stimulation is needed, like the brain.Research Article: Zhang et al.08:19 Research HighlightsMeasurements show that global warming is causing lakes to lose their oxygen, and a massive, 30-year analysis showing that a diet of plant-rich foods is associated with healthy ageingResearch Highlight: Life-giving oxygen is wafting out of lakes worldwideResearch Highlight: The best foods for healthy ageing ― and the worst10:21 Shingles vaccine linked to reduced dementia riskA large-scale population study suggests that getting a shingles vaccine reduces the probability of someone getting dementia by around one-fifth. By taking advantage of the way a shingles vaccine was rolled out in Wales, a team were able to compare dementia outcomes in vaccine-eligible people to those born just a few weeks earlier who were ineligible. Although more tests will be needed to confirm this finding and to understand the mechanisms behind it, the team hope that vaccination against this viral infection could represent a cost-effective way to for preventing or delaying dementia.Research article: Eyting et al.20:20 Briefing ChatData suggests that racial profiling plays a role in whether someone receives a traffic citation or fine, and studies suggest that paying researchers who review manuscripts could speed up the peer-review process, without affecting the quality of reviews.Ars Technica: Study of Lyft rideshare data confirms minorities get more ticketsNature: Publishers trial paying peer reviewers — what did they find?Subscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.
