Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke

From Warning Signs to Wisdom - Grace Tsang's Story - Part One


Listen Later

This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke, we welcome Grace Tsang. On October 30, 2021, her friends spotted the signs of stroke—slurred speech, a drooping face—and got her the swift, comprehensive care that saved her life and improved her outcome. But healing didn’t stop there. Grace shares how choosing gratitude and a new perspective helped her rebuild not just her body, but her outlook. Join us as she reflects on the lessons that continue to shape how she lives today.
