They delve into the mind-body connection, reflecting on how they couldn't fully comprehend it during Heather's challenging journey. The process unfolded on a subconscious level, hidden from their conscious awareness.

Kent opens up about the emotional challenges they faced as a couple. He shares how Heather's healing had a significant impact on his life, triggering fears of losing control and questioning his worthiness as someone who has always wanted to save the world.

As Heather found wellness, both experienced profound shifts and challenges. Kent felt frozen and lost, unsure of how to adapt to Heather's newfound identity.
