Janine Ilya: I Woke Up From a Coma — What Almost Dying Teaches You About Living

from The Five Year Plan · host Anna Zhang

In January 2025, Janine Ilya fell into a week-long coma.Against all odds, she woke up. But she couldn't walk, couldn't speak properly, and had lost much of her memory. She had to relearn everything—from taking her first steps to rediscovering who she was.This isn't just a story about surviving. It's a story about what happens when you're given a second chance at life—and how coming face-to-face with death changes the way you think about time, ambition, relationships, and what really matters. If you've been waiting for the "right time" to start living, this conversation is your reminder that tomorrow is a promise none of us are guaranteed.---- Special note from Anna:Guys.... this is the final episode of Season 1.
