Strokecast

June 3, 2022, was my fifth Strokeaversary. It's an important milestone. My risk for a second stroke is now statistically lower, but that not why this matters. It's not about celebrating experiencing a stroke. It celebrating survival and recovery. It's about coming back from a battle with my own blood vessels both damaged and enriched. It's complicated. But that blood clot on the morning of June 3, 2017, changed the direction of my life for good. In this solo episode I share some more thoughts and feelings about my experience.

Don't get best…get better I end every episode and nearly every blog post with this line, but what does it mean? It means that constantly trying to be the best is a flawed path. To be the best at something means that everyone else has to be worse. It is an approach that actively discourages people from working together to help one another.
