Today on The Dom Harvey Podcast, we’re bringing you something a little out of the blue in partnership with Southern Cross Health Insurance. We’ve got a special bonus episode exploring how life – and especially your health – can change in an instant. When it does, Being prepared can make all the difference.
Today, Southern Cross Health Insurance member Ryan shares his story. Hear what happens when you’re physically fit, love the gym, and suddenly realise the health condition you’re studying is exactly what you’re experiencing. Ryan is wise beyond his years. For someone in his early 20s, his perspective on family, Friends, recovery, and purpose is truly refreshing and inspiring. I really loved this chat with Ryan, and think you’ll learn a lot from it too.
