Tips and Tales with Tawnie the Neuro Mermaid

Driving After Stroke, My story and what Ive learned from other survivors


Listen Later

Today we’re diving deep into something that every stroke survivor wonders at some point: Can I drive again? 

The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all—and it turns out, it’s not just about where you live but how much you self-advocate.


From Italy to Canada to the US, I share what I learned chatting with other stroke warriors across the globe 🌍


Spoiler: It’s often more about self-reporting and doctors' notes than strict DMV rules. I talk about my own experience—how my eye crossed in, rehab, and a simple note led me back to the driver’s seat (music and snacks included 🎶🍓).


Whether you’re 9 months or 9 years into your recovery, this episode is your reminder that where there’s a will, there’s a way. It may not look like it used to—but you CAN get there.


💬 Drop your questions or share your story with me. Let’s keep this healing convo going!

  • Driving after brain injury or stroke
