You are NOT on a timeline. My truth about recovery. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three years after my stroke, I’m still recovering — and I want every stroke survivor to hear this: you are not on a timeline. In this deeply personal episode of Stronger Than Stroke , I talk honestly about what recovery has really looked and felt like for me. From eight weeks in hospital, to limbs that felt like heavy concrete, to the strange feeling of them becoming like “two pieces of pasta” hanging from my body. I talk about the fear of moving, the importance of working with your body, and wh
Have we put an expiry date on stroke recovery? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How long are we expected to recover after a stroke? Six months? One year? Three years? And what happens when you’re still struggling long after everyone else seems to think you should be “better”? In this episode of Stronger Than Stroke , we challenge the idea that stroke recovery has an expiry date.

Looking fine on the outside doesn’t mean you’ve stopped recovering on the inside. In this episode of Stronger Than Stroke , we talk about one of the hardest things for stroke survivors to explain: when people look at you and think, “But you look so well now.” The reality is that recovery doesn’t always have a visible timeline.

Read excerpt
Stroke doesn’t discriminate. It can happen to anyone, at any age, and often when you least expect it. In this powerful episode of Stronger Than Stroke , we challenge the misconception that stroke is something that only happens to older people. Louise shares the reality of experiencing a stroke and the impact it can have on your body, your brain, your emotions and your entire life. We talk about recognising the warning signs, taking symptoms seriously, and understanding why acting quickly can mak
Why rest is more important than you think! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sleep is far more than simply resting — it is one of the most important parts of recovery after a stroke. In this episode of Stronger Than Stroke , we explore why quality sleep matters so much for the brain and body, how sleep supports neuroplasticity and healing, and why poor sleep can leave stroke survivors feeling even more exhausted and overwhelmed. We also look at the connection between sleep, natural daylight, vitamin D and our body clock, and share simple ways to create better sleep habit
