🌿 A Stroke of Becoming: How Losing Everything Helped Me Find Myself Again
At 27, I had a stroke. One minute I was working late on the couch, and the next — I couldn’t move, speak, or call for help. My body went silent, but my mind was still there. I could hear everything.
That day shattered the life I thought I was building. My career, my plans, even my sense of control — gone. For a long time, I lived in fear, wondering if I’d ever feel normal again. But slowly, something new began to grow in the cracks.
I started healing — not just physically, but emotionally. I began propagating plants, painting again, and rediscovering what it means to be alive. I learned that recovery isn’t about returning to who you were. It’s about becoming someone new.
From that journey came The Rising Project — my consulting and creative business — and a new purpose: to help others grow through what breaks them.
I also starter @Tirzepatide Tales with Maria and @GLP-1 News with Maria and starting working with so many brads and companies to share their stories and mine! Now being full time in health and wellness marketing with @fifty.410
A life I never imagined and would never trade.
Because the collapse isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of becoming. 🌱
