  • Perfect avenue for continuous hope when rehabbing from a stroke

    This podcast has been an emotional blanket for me as I rehab from a stroke that occurred during brain cancer surgery about 2.5 years ago. Hearing about others who have full lives and recovered over many years helps me retain enough hope to actually do my OT and PT exercises.

  • What an incredible gift to the Stroke Community!!

    Having a stroke can leave you feeling isolated and lonely.

    This podcast is the exact opposite of that!!

    By sharing and listening to stories by fellow stroke survivors sand care partners, we realize we are not alone!

    Molly’s supportive, generous, and empathetic way of working with each guest as they develop their piece really allows the stories to shine, and then the interview afterwards is a joyful peek behind the curtain and another chance to find/create connection.

    Thank you, Molly for c... more
