    My Path to Aphasia Advocacy - Kimberley Kristen Jones' Interview - Part Two

    Today we meet Kimberley, who persevered through hardships growing up. On Thanksgiving Day 2012, a stroke furthered that storyline—leaving her unable to speak in a hospital hallway despite desperate attempts to call for help. The stroke caused aphasia, affecting her ability to find words. Now Kimberley not only perseveres in her own life, but also advocates for all people with aphasia. She wears "aphasia" t-shirts daily to engage and teach others, and even plans to speak with people in Congress with her group from University of Pittsburgh's Community Aphasia Center.  Kimberley is offering her lived experience and voice to make way for a more supportive and just environment for people living with aphasia. Kimberley’s journey shows that advocacy begins with curiosity, listening, and compassion—and flourishes through courage to engage.  Suggested Resources: Pittsburgh VA Hospital PIRATE (Program for Intensive Residential Aphasia Treatment & Education) ProgramUniversity of Pittsburgh Community Aphasia CenterCommunity Conversation Prompt:   What practices help you prepare for challenges ahead? Click here to sponsor a stroke survivor on their seven week reflective story crafting journey.

    Put Your Boots On - Virgil Robinson's Story - Part One

    Today we meet Virgil, who learned that strength isn't about being untouchable—it's about discovering what you're truly capable of when everything changes. From that confusing June evening in 2018 to becoming a beacon of hope in Pittsburgh's aphasia community, Virgil's story reminds us that sometimes life's greatest purpose emerges not despite our struggles, but because of them. This is a story about lacing up your boots and learning to march forward, not alone, but surrounded by a family that refuses to let anyone settle for less than their best.

    The Power to Choose - Eric Anderson's Interview - Part Two

    Today, we welcome our guest, Eric Anderson, who discovered his greatest strength in his most vulnerable moment. When a sudden stroke left him completely paralyzed from the neck down, Eric realized he still possessed what he calls his "superpower" – the ability to choose his thoughts, even when everything else was beyond his control. Join us as Eric shares how he transformed a medical crisis into a masterclass in resilience, built a "positivity plan" that changed his recovery trajectory, and learned the profound difference between enduring challenges and embracing them. His story reveals how sometimes our most difficult moments become the gateway to our most meaningful purpose.
