Interview with Roderick Jefferson

Send us Fan MailIn this heartfelt episode of Just Call Jenna, Jenna sits down with author and keynote speaker Roderick Jefferson for an honest and deeply personal conversation about surviving and recovering from life-altering strokes. Drawing from their remarkably similar experiences, they explore the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that follow a traumatic brain injury, sharing stories of lost abilities, relearning everyday tasks, accepting help, and finding strength in the smallest victories. Together, they reflect on how recovery is rarely about dramatic breakthroughs and more often about patience, resilience, and celebrating incremental progress. Beyond their stroke journeys, Jenna and Rod discuss the lessons that emerged from facing mortality: protecting peace, setting boundaries, redefining success, and appreciating the simple moments that often go unnoticed. The conversation touches on gratitude, self-care, relationships, purpose, and the importance of giving grace—to others and to ourselves. Through stories of survival, recovery, and personal transformation, they offer listeners a powerful reminder that while life’s challenges may change us, they can also become the beginning of a more meaningful chapter.Love the show?
