Surviving Four Strokes and Finding Everyday Joy | Sarah Remage Healey | SHRH Designs

Sarah Remage Healey was 33 when her life changed forever. A wife, mom of three, CPA, and creative entrepreneur behind SHRH Designs, Sarah experienced four strokes within weeks, just after her wedding anniversary and days before Christmas. With no warning signs, no family history, and no underlying conditions, she was forced to rebuild everything from the ground up. Sarah shares the lessons she’s learned about resilience, creativity, and why she now measures life in birthdays and small celebrations. We talk about letting go of proving yourself, creating joy even in the hardest seasons, and the unexpected path from corporate life to running a design business that brings sparkle to every day. Her story is a reminder that we can’t control everything, but we can choose to make someone smile - and that might just change everything.
