In this powerful episode of Life Happens, I sit down with Andrew Davie — writer, podcaster, mental health counselor, and survivor. Andrew’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and compassion.
In 2018, Andrew faced a life-altering challenge when he survived a ruptured brain aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage. His recovery reshaped the way he looks at life and inspired him to live with greater intentionality. Alongside his personal health battles, Andrew also navigated the role of caregiver for his mother during her battle with ALS — a deeply moving chapter of his story that taught him about strength, love, and the power of presence.
Today, Andrew channels his experiences into multiple avenues:
We explore what it means to rebuild after trauma, how creativity can serve as a form of healing, and why service to others is a vital part of living a purposeful life. Andrew’s story is an inspiring reminder that while life happens in ways we can’t always control, we can choose how we respond.
