“You have to feed both hearts – the one in your chest and the one that is upstairs.” – Dr. Michelle Dew
As we continue to celebrate the heart this month – both mechanically and emotionally – Dr. Michelle Robin has invited a cardiologist on the show today to share why the heart encompasses so much of how we experience life around us. Dr. Michelle Dew shares her inspiring journey of becoming a cardiologist, including how one family emergency greatly impacted her. Her encounter with a remarkable doctor and their energy in a room will remind listeners how important every individual is on earth – because you never know when (or how) your presence will change someone’s life forever. At the end of the episode, Dr. Dew explains why joy is a vital part of our well-being, why the heart needs it, and how she founds hers.
