At 41, Megan Goodrich's life changed forever when she suffered a massive stroke. In this episode, she shares the warning signs she experienced, the terrifying day her stroke struck, and how her brave 8-year-old son helped save her life.

Megan opens up about waking from a medically induced coma, enduring months of rehabilitation, and grieving the loss of the nursing career she loved. But she also shares how volunteering became a powerful part of her recovery—helping her rediscover her purpose, rebuild her confidence, and realize she could still make a meaningful impact on others.

Megan's story is a moving reminder that while stroke may change your life, it doesn't define your future.

80% of strokes are preventable. Get screened today for your risks of stroke and/or cardiovascular diseases.
