Description
Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke is a podcast where stroke survivors share powerful stories shaped by purpose, connection, and hope. Each episode is the result of eight weeks of guided, reflective story-crafting—conversations that help uncover the life wisdom that emerges through stroke recovery.
Most guests are years, sometimes decades, beyond their stroke. Their stories offer perspective shaped by time, healing, and deep reflection—modern-day parables that invite listeners into moments of stillness, insight, and renewal.
Produced by the nonprofit Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke, whose mission is to empower stroke survivors to articulate and publicly share their stories. The organization offers personalized reflection sessions, community gatherings, retreats, and workshops for survivors and carepartners.
✨ Learn more about their programs, services, or sponsor a guest’s story-crafting journey at www.beyondstillness.org.
