Today’s guest is Mim, a mum of 3, teacher, Pilates barre & Stretch and creator of Makescents on Instagram.

But besides all those achievements, Mim is a survivor.

After years of misdiagnosis and a life hampered by pain and medical intervention, Mim was given a diagnosis that could have been a death sentence. 

And that is just the beginning of her story and of her battle with Spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

In this episode Mim shares:

• Why she was called 'the sickly one' during early adulthood
• How bad her health was in her 30's
• What happened when she complained to her chiropractor
• The moment when her chiropractor said she needed a cat scan ASAP
• The terrifying diagnosis her neurologist gave her
• How she got her life back on track and started to make changes
• The big health complication that happened in 2016
• The paralysing fears she had post diagnosis
• The negative narratives she was telling herself post diagnosis
• How she worked on herself physically after working on her mental health
• How tough some of the recovery days got for her
• The new ways she worked on her mental health during 2020 and discovered essential oils and low tox living
• What happened when her heart attack recurred
