## Resource

What happens when life knocks you down—twice—and you choose to rise again with love? In this unforgettable episode, we sit down with Andrew Davie, a brain aneurysm survivor who became the full-time caregiver for his mother during her battle with ALS. His journey is one of trauma, transformation, and unshakable resilience. Andrew shares what it’s like to rebuild your life after a medical crisis, step into the complex role of caregiver, and carry the emotional weight of watching a parent slowly fade. We explore mental health, grief, identity, and the raw reality of what it means to care for someone who once cared for you. A writer, educator, and licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC), Andrew brings vulnerability and wisdom to this powerful conversation. 💛 If you’re a caregiver, survivor, or navigating life after loss—this story will speak to your soul.
