This is the first episode of a series with Letisha and Shannon, both young survivors of stroke.

We discuss how to navigate finances and financial stress after stroke. It's a topic that often isn't talked about and one that Letisha and Shannon hope becomes less taboo.

Letisha is a mother to four boys, one who was born after her stroke. She is passionate about empowering working age survivors of stroke.

And Shannon is a nurse, wife and a mother of two. Shannon previously looked after elderly patients who had survived stroke and was astounded when stroke happened to her and her family.
