In this Spoonie Chats episode, Rachel is joined by Spoonie co-host Em, who had a stroke at just 26 years old and is now living with lasting deficits on one side of her body.
Together, we dive into what it’s like to face mobility challenges at a young age — from the self-consciousness of using handicap parking, to the importance of setting boundaries for your health, to the daily realities of living in a body that feels “older” than you are. This is an open and relatable conversation about resilience, self-acceptance, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
