So try to make any sort of meaning, because I think science tells us that if we can make meaning of obstacles, we're in a way better place to recover.
Imagine being at the peak of your athletic career, only to face a life-altering medical crisis. This is the reality for Sally Callie, a triple Olympian and world record holder in rowing, who faced an unexpected stroke during brain surgery. In this episode of 'Stories of Recovery', hosted by Robbie Frawley, Sally recounts her journey from the operating table to reclaiming her life.
Following the birth of her second child, Sally experienced a seizure that led to the discovery of a critical blood vessel issue in her brain. Surgery was necessary, but waking up paralyzed on one side was an unforeseen challenge. Hear Sally's compelling narrative about leveraging her athlete's mindset to tackle rehabilitation head-on. Her story isn't just about medical recovery; it's about resilience, visualisation, and maintaining a positive outlook. Sally's insights offer valuable lessons for anyone facing similar struggles.
Whether you're dealing with a stroke or supporting someone who is, Sally's experience provides practical advice and inspiration to keep pushing forward.
