Alive on Purpose: Health, Heart & Holding On with Maggie Henderson

Send a message into the BrightsideIn this episode of Braving the Brightside, we sit down with Maggie Henderson for an honest conversation about choosing life—again and again—even when your body has asked more than its fair share.Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age and later living with a genetic heart condition, Maggie has faced her own mortality far earlier than most. From sudden loss, to cardiac arrest, to open-heart surgery, her story is one of resilience, humor, and a deep commitment to staying present for the life she’s still building.We talk about listening to your body, finding strength through movement, redefining what health really means, and the quiet bravery it takes to keep showing up—one day at a time.This isn’t a story about perfection or toxic positivity. It’s about choosing to live fully, even when it’s hard.If you’ve ever felt fragile, determined, or both at once—this episode will meet you where you are.Official Braving the Brightside Website: bravingthebrightside.orgOfficial Brightside Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1QnOBVBM8NRC9nFtxcPEpd?si=uGOTwlqyTRSqggcMCJhzSQThe Rethreadery-Sustainable Style: therethreadery.com-Use Code BRIGHTSIDE for 15% Off!IG: @the_rethreaderyHaven on Adullam Lake Retreat: havenonadullamlake.com-Use code LITTLEDAN for 10% Off!IG: @haven_adullam_lakeThe Library of Daniel Bradley: Patreon.com/daniels666timeNew episodes every other Friday at 2 pm on all major podcast platforms.
