Heart To Heart With Anna

Why would a heart dad decide to host a podcast? Why would he write a book for the congenital heart defect community? What has this dad learned from having a child with a heart defect? Tom and Kat Hansen are parents to Audrey and Harding. In 2014, Harding was diagnosed with multiple congenital heart defects in utero, for which he has undergone three open-heart surgeries and multiple other procedures. Inspired by their journey with Harding, Tom and his wife wrote a book and then they started a podcast, The Hope and Courage Podcast for CHD Parents, where they share their insights and interview experts and people with a lived experience of CHD. Their book Hope and Courage: Real-Life Lessons from the Parents of a Child with Congenital Heart Disease was released in 2022. A former high school math teacher, Tom is currently a corporate trainer and instructional designer. Tom’s family lives in Cincinnati, Ohio and they enjoy going on adventures together.Links for more information about Tom and Kat Hansen:Their website
