Give Stroke Recovery 1000% - Will Schmierer's Story

This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke, we welcome guest Will Schmierer. In December of 2019, a small leg wound led to an unexpected diagnosis—AFib. Days later, a stroke left his entire right side paralyzed. Then came another blow: multiple sclerosis. At that point, Will was 37 and weighed 530 lbs.  Recovery was slow, but he has always been one to do things 1000%, and so goes his recovery.  A book on nasal breathing changed his outlook and life.  He became a biker, then runner, and ultimately a resource for other survivors.  Now, as the founder of Survivor Science, Will is dedicated to sharing his journey and empowering others to reclaim their strength and resilience.Community Conversation Prompts:What new passion or interest have you discovered since your stroke?How has your journey inspired others?Guest's Mentioned Resources:Survivor Science - Will SchmiererAVM Superhero - Greg GrahamBreath: The New Science of a Lost ArtBrooks Rehabilitation - Jacksonville, FLLegend the Lion Heart - Jason LopesOxygen Advantage - Patrick McKeownRecovery After Stroke - Bill GasiamisSupport a Stroke Survivor:Your gift sponsors a stroke survivor through our seven-week reflective story crafting journey.👉 Donate at beyondstillness.orgBeyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke is a nonprofit that empowers stroke survivors to articulate and publicly share their stories of wisdom, purpose, connection, and hope.Follow us: Instagram · Facebook · YouTube · beyondstillness.org#BeyondStillness #StrokeRecovery #StrokeSurvivor #StrokeStories #StrokeAwareness #Storytelling #StrokeSupport #Recovery #Resilience #Hope #Transformation #LifeAfterStroke #Inspiration #NarrativeIdentity #StorytellingHeals #RewritingMyStory #IdentityAfterStroke #PostTraumaticGrowth
