Miracle Man
Friday, 7 March, 2025

Show Notes: In this powerful episode, we sit down with Todd and Carrie Hensel. Todd underwent a two day surgery which included a seven-organ transplant, during which he died five times. Fate had other plans and organ donation gave Todd a second chance at life. Now, Todd and Carrie live on a peaceful ranch and we discuss their newly released book, “My Miracle Man – The Deaths and Life of a Seven-Organ Transplant Recipient”, written by Carrie. The book highlights Todd’s incredible story and the profound impact of love, faith, and resilience. In our Mental Health Moment we get curious about curiosity and then we honor a donor hero, Elleanor Bergeron.
