About This Podcast

🎙 50 First Dates with Chris HVMMINGBYRD I was a lifestyle and wedding photographer—then brain surgery changed everything. Now, with aphasia and memory loss, every day feels like a first date. This podcast is a space for healing, humor, and heart. I’ll share my recovery journey and invite others to tell their stories too. We’re building a community of love, laughter, and second chances—one first date at a time.
