Description
What happens when you have accepted that you may die—and then learn a donor heart is waiting for you?
Gaylen Wilson joins Travis White to share how he rebuilt his life after bankruptcy, alcoholism, heart failure, and a 2018 heart transplant. He explains how sobriety, gratitude, and his relationship with his wife Heather helped him keep fighting, and how their experience led to the Monument Method for protecting connection during conflict.

- How the Monument Method interrupts conflict and restores safety
