Episode 17. Koa’s Warrior Spirit with Troy Pegler
In this heart-touching episode, we hear the extraordinary story of Troy Pegler and his 3.5-year-old son, Koa—a name that means "Brave" in Maori. Koa was born with CHARGE syndrome and faced many severe health challenges from before his first breath. Troy and his wife spent the first year of Koa's life living in hospital accommodations, enduring multiple major surgeries and countless moments of uncertainty.
Troy opens up about the emotional toll this journey took on him, leading him to some of the darkest places he didn’t think he’d escape from. Leaning on alcohol to numb the pain, it was Koa's warrior spirit that kept him going. Through holistic practices like breathwork, meditation, and inner work, Troy found the strength to overcome these challenges.
