“I wasn’t lazy. I was lost.”
If that line hits too close to home, this conversation is for you.
After stroke or aphasia, it’s easy to believe you’re just not trying hard enough. That you should feel more motivated. But what if it’s not a lack of willpower? What if the real issue is apathy, grief, or a recovery mindset that no longer fits?
This episode with Aaron Avila (Stroke TV Media) is honest, grounded, and deeply needed. We talk about what it means to rebuild when motivation feels gone—and why the “try harder” advice survivors often get isn’t just unhelpful. It can actually backfire.
Why stroke survivors feel stuck—even when they want to move forward • The difference between apathy and depression (and why it matters) • How purpose—not willpower—actually fuels motivation • The mindset shift that helped Aaron take back his life • One small way to start rebuilding today
