#64 Boots brings you her childhood friend, Todd Sykes (aka Toddy), a survivor of endocarditis, a stroke, and a brain aneurysm. At just 37, Todd faced a life-threatening situation during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to two heart surgeries and a remarkable recovery. He needed his mitral and bicuspid valves replaced and had unknowingly been living with a bicuspid valve his entire life (just like Boots). He shares powerful lessons on the importance of loving well, prioritizing family time, and being prepared with insurance and wills. Todd’s story highlights resilience, faith, and the need for physical and emotional strength. Todd reminds us to cherish each moment and plan for unforeseen events to protect our loved ones. Todd’s journey serves as an inspiring reminder of life’s unpredictability and the power of hope.
You can find Todd at @toddsykes (Facebook/ Linked In).
