In this episode, I explore an essential yet often overlooked aspect of stroke recovery: knowing when it’s time to pivot. Recovery is rarely a linear process, and recognizing when to adjust your approach—whether in fitness, career, or personal growth—can be key to overcoming plateaus and reigniting progress.

I reflect on my own recovery and how hitting a fitness plateau led me to realize it was time for a change. By integrating weightlifting, kettlebells, and fitness technology like Whoop and Garmin, I’ve reinvigorated my physical recovery. I’ll share how these shifts have kept me progressing, both physically and mentally.

We’ll also discuss how family and personal growth play critical roles in recovery. It’s not just about physical progress; it’s about embracing change and finding growth in every challenge.

Additionally, I talk about my career pivot from psychology to an MBA, blending psychology with business to help survivors. This shift aligns with my goals and feeds into the exciting rebranding of the podcast under the Survivor Science umbrella. Future episodes will feature survivor stories and interviews, offering new insights and inspiration.

Key Topics:

• Recognizing When to Pivot: How to know when it’s time for a change in your recovery or life path.
