Broken Hearts, Organ Donors & College Coeds (Feat. Aolani Glover)
Manage episode 433928218 series 2893210
Episode 121: This week the show welcomes Aolani Glover to the program! I first met Aolani at Central Washington University back in 1997. As fellow residents within the same dorm, we would soon begin hanging out with our group of friends partaking in random activities such as ab workouts, dinner parties and drinks on the weekends.
After graduating, Aolani took up a job working at Nike in Oregon. She later began training to become a police officer in Washington when she suddenly suffered a serious health issue that nearly took her life. This tragic event eventually led to her receiving a heart transplant at the UW Medical Center in Seattle.
Aolani joins the podcast to speak about her experience living as a transplant patient, and discuss the music that helped to inspire her journey along the way.
