I’m thrilled to announce a major rebrand and a fresh look for the podcast, but I’m not doing it alone. I’m inviting you to help shape our future, cast your vote for our new name, and enter for a chance to win a paperback copy of one of my three cardiac recovery books. Let’s make sure our ‘signpost’ is clear for everyone who needs a hand to hold on this journey.
Listen here and read on for more ...
If you’ve been following this show for a while, you know that my mission has always been about more than just recovery – it’s about reclaiming your life after a heart attack or cardiac surgery. We’ve spent 55 episodes together navigating the mental, emotional, and practical side of this journey, and I am so proud of the space we’ve created here.
As we look toward the future, I want to make sure that the ‘signpost’ for this show – the name and the look – is as clear and welcoming as possible for the person who is currently sitting where many of us once were: overwhelmed, uncertain, and looking for a hand to hold.
So, in the very near future, things are going to look a little different around here. I am officially rebranding the podcast. I am looking to have a brand-new name and a stunning new creative design for our cover art coming your way in just a few weeks.
Mental Health, Emotional Wellbeing & Practical Rehab
I want to be clear: the content isn’t changing. My voice isn’t changing. Our deep dives into the heart-mind connection aren’t going anywhere. We’re just giving our ‘home’ a fresh coat of paint so that more people can find us in the crowded world of the internet.
I’ll be revealing the new name and the new look in a few weeks, but before I do… I want to ask you for some help and to have a little bit of fun with you.
Cardiac Podcast Name Giveaway
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this new name, and I’m curious to see if you can read my mind! Here is the challenge: Help me decide on what the new podcast name might be. I am giving away a free paperback copy of each of my books in a prize draw. It will be the first names out of a hat of participants. I’d love to get a copy into your hands.
- Beyond the Beat – Your guide for before, during and after heart surgery or a heart attack for emotional resilience.
- The Beat Goes On – Supporting you with the practical and emotional side of life when living with heart disease when you’re first diagnosed.
- Cognitive Cardio Puzzles – Pass the time, stimulate your brain, and learn more about your heart health during cardiac recovery
These are my Current Ideas

I cannot wait to see what you come up with. Some of you are so intuitive, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone nails it for me!
Thank you for being part of this evolution. It’s because of your listens, your messages, and your shared stories that this show continues to grow. Keep an eye on your podcast and blog feed over the next few of weeks for the big reveal and that new cover art.
Until then, take care of your heart, be kind to your mind, and I’ll talk to you very soon.
