SORRY FOR THE AUDIO. It was hard getting back into things, and I messed up my video recording to record 2 audio sources over each other and never hit record on my audio only device. Argh, yeah my momentum has been killed, but I will keep at it. Listen as I talk about the summer that killed my momentum.

Summary:
How do you prepare for life’s unexpected twists and turns? Join me, Raul Lopez, as I kick off Season Two of “How Do You Save Success in Spanglish?” by sharing a deeply personal journey that forced me to confront my own health vulnerabilities. It all began with a sudden onset of severe stomach pain on July 7th, which spiraled into a medical crisis involving emergency surgery and a suspected bowel obstruction. Amidst the chaos, I had to make a hurried call to inform my wife and grappled with the frightening realization of life’s unpredictability.

From the trauma of an NG tube to enduring multiple surgeries, I recount the relentless battle with recurring bowel obstructions and the emotional toll it took on me and my family. Balancing health, family responsibilities, and work seemed nearly impossible, especially as I faced significant weight loss and a slow, arduous road to recovery. The unwavering support of my loved ones became my anchor, reminding me of the importance of a cautious approach to regaining my strength and momentum.

As I emerged from this medical rollercoaster, life threw more challenges my way, from my daughter’s illness to a series of domestic mishaps. Yet, the excitement of returning to my podcast and reconnecting with you, my audience, fueled my resilience. I express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support during my hiatus and promise more engaging content, even if it starts a bit rocky. Tune in for a hopeful look ahead and a sneak peek into our upcoming lesson: how to say “success” in Spanglish.
