Physical recovery is only half the journey.
The emotional and identity recovery is just as real, and often overlooked.

Through the Stroke Monologues, survivors share stories that range from invisible challenges to locked-in syndrome, where one woman built her entire narrative through eye blinks and an AI-generated voice.

This is the heart of Stroke Onward’s mission: helping people build their best life after stroke, whatever their disabilities are.

Aphasia stole Debra’s words, but not her mind.
Not her personality.
Not her instincts as a mother.

When her son Adam suggested leaving school to come home and help, she couldn’t speak, yet her expression delivered a crystal-clear “no way.”

Her family burst out laughing and crying at the same time.
Because in that single moment, they knew: Deb was still Deb.

As you listen to the show, I encourage you to step into Debra E. Meyerson's shoes. Debra had a dream life: a tenured professorship at Stanford, a reputation as a groundbreaking scholar on organizational change and identity, and big adventures with her husband, social finance leader Steve Zuckerman, including sailing across Europe with their three kids.

Then, at 53, a stroke changed everything. In the first 48 hours, Steve watched the Debra he knew slip away. Her speech, her mobility, and everything she took for granted. After her medical leave expired, her academic career, one she had spent a lifetime building, was taken away.

Debra and Steve sit down and share what happens when life happens in an unexpected manner. You will hear Debra struggle to form the sentences she wants to communicate, and Steve talk about what it means to rebuild lives that will never be the same.

You will celebrate how they moved from crisis and almost depression to purpose as they create Stroke Onward to support the emotional side of recovery - how Debra found the strength to write her book Identity Theft, and why they took on a 4.500 mile tandem bike ride across America to raise awareness and funds.

If you have ever faced a before-and-after moment or loved someone whose life changed in a split second, or you want to feel the power of human positivity, Debra and Steve's story will stay with you long after the episode ends.

Cleveland Clinic Canada CEO Mike Kessel explains how remote diagnostic tools are expanding what clinicians can see and understand from a distance. A simple video call can evolve into a full clinical view when patients can check their ears, throat, lungs, heart rate, temperature, and skin from home.

The shift is meaningful.
A clinician can diagnose far more conditions.
Patients can avoid unnecessary trips.
Healthcare becomes easier to access and easier to navigate.

Mike describes this future clearly: remote diagnostics raise virtual care from 200 possible diagnoses to over a thousand. The technology already exists, and the momentum is growing.

Healthcare is, at its core, about the moments we get to keep.
Moments with the people we love.
Moments that carry meaning.
Moments that become our memories.

In this week’s episode of Chatter That Matters, Cleveland Clinic Canada CEO Mike Kessel shares a line that captures the real purpose behind medicine:

“Our job is to help our patients make more memories together and to live longer so they can spend time with their families.”

The conversation explores what it means to care, to innovate, and to support people in living fuller, longer, more connected lives.

In this episode, David Chilton makes a point that hits harder than ever:
We’re living in a moment where financial advice is everywhere, TikTok, YouTube, algorithms learning our weak spots, and yet people feel more lost than ever.

Instead of competing with the noise, David realised something surprising while rewriting The Wealthy Barber:

The more overwhelming the world becomes, the more people crave a single voice they can trust, someone who isn’t selling a product, pushing an agenda, or chasing clicks.

That’s why this updated edition resonates the way it does.
In a landscape full of hacks, hot takes, and hype, David brings something rare:
clarity, humility, and advice that stands up in real life.

🎧 Watch the full conversation to hear how he approached rewriting a classic, and why simplicity still wins when everything around us feels complex.

Cleveland Clinic Canada CEO Mike Kessel breaks down a stat that stops people in their tracks:

👉 Before 60: 75% of your health is lifestyle, 25% is genetics.
👉 After 60: 90% is lifestyle, 10% is genetics.

“You’re not doomed to your genetics,” he says. And coming from someone shaping the future of care, it hits differently.

It means movement matters. Sleep matters. Stress matters.
Not in a buzzword way, in a “you can add years to your life” way.

If you want a fresh, empowering perspective on longevity, health, and what we can actually control, the full conversation with Mike Kessel is worth a listen.
