Locked In: Overcoming A Paralyzing Stroke with Brisa Alfaro

In 2014, Brisa Alfaro found herself inside a NYC Hospital, surrounded by her family with no idea what had happened and why everyone was gathered around her to say goodbye. She had suffered a brainstem stroke, resulting in Locked in Syndrome. Brisa was unable to move or respond and had less than a 1% chance at surviving. Unable to use her body, all she could do was focus on her thoughts and use the power of manifestation to will her recovery. It first started with the movement of her pinky, then she moved her wrist, and then eventually her whole arm. 7 years later, Brisa has defied all odds and has made a full physical recovery. Today, Brisa is a #1 International Bestselling Author, Speaker, and Transformational Coach. On this episode of Fall in love with Fitness, Brisa shares her story of recovery and how she continues to use the concept of pinky moves to overcome every hurdle and life challenge.
