A Story of Strength and Support: Peaches Udoma’s Open-Heart Journey

In this powerful episode of Stories from Under the Piano, Craig sits down with Peaches Udoma, a trailblazing academic writer, editor, communication strategist, and coach who has spent decades empowering others to achieve their dreams. Peaches shares a deeply personal story about her battle with severe aortic valve stenosis, a diagnosis that led her to open-heart surgery at the age of 61.

Peaches takes us through her family’s cardiac history, the fear of facing her own diagnosis, and how a major reframe turned her greatest anxiety—the ventilator—into her unexpected ally. She recounts her preparation for surgery, her gratitude for medical professionals, and the love and support of her friends and family. Peaches’ courage, humor, and determination shine through as she reflects on her recovery and how this experience gave her a renewed sense of life, love, and purpose.

Craig’s spontaneous piano composition captures the essence of Peaches’ journey, from the gravity of her diagnosis to the joy and resilience that carried her through. This musical tribute evoked memories of her healing process, bringing to life the determination she embodied in her months of preparation and her ultimate triumph over fear.

Stick around after the story as Peaches talks about her passion for coaching and her work with the Wealth and Impact Bootcamp. You’ll also hear her heartfelt endorsement of Craig’s “Under the Piano” experience and how it has brought meaning to her life.
