EP92 - Healing, Growth, and Embracing Change: Anna Kerry's Journey After a Stroke at 35

In this episode of Boost Your Week with Ignited Decisions, Shauna sits down with Anna to discuss her life-changing experience of having a stroke at the age of 35. Anna shares the unexpected challenges she faced, from the initial symptoms to the psychological impact of recovery, and how this experience led her to a deeper journey of self-discovery and healing.

Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to health combining mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Anna opens up about seeking support for her health anxiety, which was not readily available at the hospital, and how she learned to prioritize self-care, mindfulness, and slowing down.

Key takeaways from this episode:

- The warning signs of a stroke and the importance of early intervention

- How a major health crisis can spark self-reflection and personal growth

- The psychological impact of sudden life changes and how to navigate them

- Why self-care, mindfulness, and self-compassion are essential in the healing process

- A woman-centered approach to coaching and reassessing priorities in life

Anna’s story is a powerful reminder that healing is not a quick fix but a continuous journey. By taking time to check in with ourselves and embracing change, we can move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
