Louise and Myra in the moment of truly living again. Put the hard work in and celebrate life!

In this episode of Stronger Than Stroke, we talk about the side of recovery people don’t see.

When you “look fine” on the outside but are battling fatigue, brain fog, emotional changes, and overwhelm on the inside—this is the invisible fight so many stroke survivors face every day.

This episode is about being understood, validating your experience, and learning how to navigate recovery when no one else can see what you’re going through.

Tight, restrictive, and often misunderstood, high tone can impact movement, comfort, and confidence in everyday life.

The story of change

In this episode of Small Wins, we explore the power of everyday victories in stroke recovery. Hear inspiring stories, practical tips, and the mindset shifts that help turn small steps into big progress.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Stronger Than Stroke! Today, I’m joined by Myra for a really honest, down-to-earth chat about the little victories, the frustrating moments, and the unexpected twists of stroke recovery. From walking a few steps upstairs to navigating everyday challenges, we talk about it all—the struggles, the small wins, and everything in between. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and join us for this heartfelt conversation

After a stroke, fatigue isn’t just tiredness — it’s neurological.

In this episode of Stronger Than Stroke, we explore what a neuro fatigue crash really is, why it happens, and how to manage it without setting yourself back.

If you’ve felt the sudden exhaustion, heavy limbs, or brain fog… this will help you understand what’s going on — and how to handle it.

Rest is not failure. Rest is repair. 💛

In this episode, we explore the powerful role of the central nervous system in stroke recovery. From the brain’s incredible ability to rewire itself through neuroplasticity, to the way signals travel between the brain, spinal cord and muscles, we break down what’s really happening inside the body after a stroke.

We talk about why fatigue can feel overwhelming, why movement may feel disconnected, and how repetition, rest, and the right kind of stimulation help rebuild pathways. This episode is about understanding the science — but also about restoring hope.

Because recovery isn’t just about muscles.

It’s about messages.

And the central nervous system is learning to speak again.
