I’m a professional speaker who knows—firsthand—what it means to have everything stop in an instant. After suffering a stroke, I was forced to relearn not just how to move and speak, but how to redefine who I was when the path forward suddenly disappeared. Recovery wasn’t a straight line. It was humbling, frustrating, and deeply personal. But it also became the moment I discovered how powerful resilience can be when you choose to fight for your life instead of mourning the one you lost.
Today, I speak about the hard-earned lessons that come from rebuilding—physically, mentally, and emotionally—while still daring to chase big dreams. My story isn’t about “getting back to normal”; it’s about creating something new with purpose, grit, and belief. Whether I’m speaking to teams, students, or organizations, my message is clear: adversity doesn’t disqualify you from your dreams—it refines you for them.
