For thousands of years, storytelling has been woven into the fabric of human existence, serving as a guiding light through the complexities of life as far back as the most ancient of cultures. In today’s fast-paced world, gathering around a fire to share stories is becoming a distant memory. Throughout my own journey, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know some of the most incredibly inspiring people whose stories will crack you open. Their journeys are not just tales of survival, but profound testaments to the undeniable resilience of the human spirit. Welcome to How’d You Do It: a podcast dedicated to the timeless art of storytelling, where stories of resilience come to life, igniting a spark of hope and reminding us of our innate capacity to overcome adversity and embrace the fullness of life.

One year later, tragedy struck again when a sudden cardiac arrest left her in a coma for weeks. Tohni was with Willow when it happened, along with a doctor who miraculously kept Willow alive until paramedics arrived.

People from around the world came together, offering prayers, financial aid, meals, and rides, rallying behind Willow, Tohni, and their families. Through it all, Tohni navigated heartbreak, resilience, and the deep lessons this experience brought into her life.
