There’s a Lot of Life Left on Your Setlist ❤️
Every year on September 29, people around the world recognize World Heart Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular disease and reminding all of us that taking care of our hearts matters.
For me, this day is personal.
If you've followed me for any amount of time, you probably know that the American Heart Association has become one of the causes closest to my heart. I've had the privilege of using my microphone, my platform, and our incredible Maverick Family to support the American Heart Association's mission, and I plan to keep doing so long after World Heart Day is over.
Why World Heart Day Matters
Cardiovascular disease remains the world's leading cause of death, and here in the United States, heart disease continues to impact millions of families.
But awareness can lead to action.
The American Heart Association reminds us that better cardiovascular health can lower our risk of heart disease, stroke and other major health problems. And some of the things we can do to protect ourselves and the people we love are surprisingly simple: know your numbers, move more, make heart-healthy choices and learn CPR.
That last one is especially powerful.
According to the American Heart Association, CPR performed immediately can double or even triple a person's chance of survival after cardiac arrest.
You don't have to be a doctor, nurse, EMT or first responder to potentially save someone's life.
You just have to be willing to learn.
Heart to Heart with Emyle ❤️
I call this Heart to Heart with Emyle for a reason.
I want this to be a place where we can have real heart-to-hearts about the things that matter — our families, our health, the people we love, the things we're going through, and the life we're still busy building.
But those conversations have another side, too: taking care of the heart that lets us be here for it all.
Because we can talk about chasing dreams, making memories, showing up for our people and living life BIG — but taking care of our heart gives us the chance to keep doing those things.
That's why heart health has become something I'm so passionate about and why I'll keep using my voice to talk about it.
Heart to Heart with Emyle is about the important stuff. The real-life stuff. And sometimes, that means reminding each other to know our numbers, make the appointment, move our bodies, learn CPR, and take our heart health seriously.
Because there is SO much life left to live. ❤️
