He thought he was bulletproof… until a heart attack changed everything. 💔 #LawEnforcementMarriage In this deeply personal episode, Cyndi and her husband Bobby share the story of his sudden heart attack — a "widow maker" that nearly took his life — and how it became a turning point in their marriage and mental health. They open up about the physical and emotional recovery, how trauma affected both of them, and what it took for Bobby to ask for help and begin healing through therapy and cardiac rehab. Together, they discuss the myth of being "bulletproof," the vulnerability first responders often avoid, and how seeking help restored not only health but connection.
