Life punches harder than you think. One day, I was unstoppable—sports, karate, pushing limits, feeling invincible. The next, I was staring down major spine surgery with a 30% survival rate. My body betrayed me. My world crumbled.
This isn't some "feel-good" self-help nonsense. It's a story about failure, fear, and what happens when everything falls apart. About lying in hospital gowns, fighting pain that doesn't quit, and finding tiny victories in the darkest moments. About the stubborn, messy, hilarious, hopeful journey back to life.
From near-death to building a life worth living, this book is proof that setbacks can be stepping stones, fear can be fuel, and hope... well, hope shows up when you refuse to give up.
