Now a great-grandmother and patient advocate, Barb opens up about aging with heart disease, the importance of listening to your body, and why women—especially caregivers—must make their health a priority.This episode is a reminder that resilience doesn’t have an age limit, and every heartbeat is a chance to begin again.#Heart2HeartTalk #PatientVoice #SelfAdvocacy #ListenToPatients #HeartWarrior #HospiceSurvivor #HeartBridgeCollective #HeartHealth #WomenWithHeart #CardiacCare
