Rob Mackenzie is a remarkable human and my husband. After a catastrophic brain haemorrhage and stroke in 2014, he was left paralysed and without any form of communication.  This conversation is an insight into his recovery, us as a couple, our story, what it's like to live with Aphasia and why this podcast exists.

This is Leaven. An introduction to a new space for hope, a place for open discussions, a space to help ‘permeate or transform something for the better’.  A series of conversations with people who have been through something formative and navigated a mad old path, yet done so with courage, holding on to hope. Through these conversations, on life, love, loss, adventure, I wish for listeners to have a space of support and inspiration, that no matter what you’re going through, there is a way through. By the end of an episode, to be left feeling a little better.
