Life's Undertaking is a podcast dedicated to life’s undertaking. Finding meaning and joy in mid-life can be eclipsed by loss, grief and disappointment. Is there anything from what breaks our heart, especially the biggest heartbreak of them all: our mortality.

Everything Feels Impossible Until It's Done: How the Life You Build Becomes the Life that Saves You
On this episode of Life's Undertaking, Brad Jones and Toronto Mike chat with Vincent Van den Broeck.
Two years ago doctors gave him a 10% chance of surviving a catastrophic brain injury. He spent three weeks in a coma, had to relearn walking and talking from scratch, and watched his family prepare for the worst.
Vincent says the accident didn't transform him. It stress-tested everything he already believed about authenticity, presence, and connection. He's not preaching a new identity. He's talking about what actually holds when everything else falls apart. His UID framework turns that into something practical through mindset, health, lifestyle, action, and structure and clarity. Your listeners who are wrestling with mid-life loss and what comes after are the exact people who need to hear why resilience isn't discovered during catastrophe but built long before, and why we keep postponing happiness until later.
