Hi FB Family. Just letting folks know I'm putting the finishing touches on my new-and-improved coaching program, and I'm looking for a few more charter members to take through it at a MUCH-reduced price. If you know of any female stroke survivors who need a confidence boost, or help feeling hopeful about their future, please send them my way.

Here's the KSHB story, and my lovely pics from my stay at St. Luke's back in 2017. Bed/hospital hair - don't care. ;-) That thumbs-up on my left side was a BIG DEAL at the time. I couldn't move ANYTHING on my left side before the clot-removal surgery that saved my life. https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/kc-area-woman-travels-to-ireland-to-raise-money-during-stroke-awareness-month. Still want to support me? Please donate here:

When Angie Read had a stroke at the age of 46, she lost all her confidence. Today, she works to help other stroke survivors feel their best through recovery.

Hey ya'll. I appreciate all the FB likes and loves about me doing the firewalk for stroke survivors May 3, but what I REALLY need are donations to my GoFundMe. Everything raised now is going straight to the American Stroke Foundation. Please donate. It's for a VERY IMPORTANT cause!

Hi friends. Please support my fundraiser for the American Stroke Foundation? I can't believe I'm crazy enough to do a fire walk, but I'm doing it! In IRELAND, nonetheless. Every dollar counts. Even if you can only give $5 or $10, I appreciate it!! I don't want to lower my goal of $5K, so please help me help other stroke survivors. Thank you!

I'm excited to share that I'm joining the team at the American Stroke Foundation next week, doing part-time communications work. This is a perfect supplement to my life-coaching business for female stroke survivors. I look forward to making an even bigger impact on the lives of my fellow stroke survivors!! It's all falling into place. :-)

I meditate at least 10 minutes a day! This has a huge positive impact on my mental health. If you're interested in meditation, I highly recommend checking out this free YouTube channel for some lovely guided meditations. They come in increments of approx. 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes. The narrator's voice is so calming.

Hi all. If you know any female stroke survivors who could benefit from joining an online community to help rebuild their self-confidence and take back control of their lives, please share my new group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/863606961939170. I want this to be a forum for growth and positivity for female stroke survivors. I really could have used a group like this six years ago!!!

Are you ready to take your life to the next level? To wake up every day and know you're fulfilling your purpose on this planet and living your legacy? I want to help you achieve true transformation to become the best version of YOU you can be.

I'm launching a life coaching business focused on women wanting to increase their self-confidence after a crisis. I'm taking everything I've learned during my life's MANY ups and downs, including surviving two strokes and the resulting mental health fallout, to help other people live a fulfilling life after a crisis! After my recent job loss, I decided to invest in formal coaching training to put more "meat" behind my words and advice.

I've always had a knack for empathetic listening and coaching, often resulting in people suggesting I become a therapist. But honestly, I can do more good by being an exceptional COACH to others, using my unique skills and talents to help others achieve the confidence and conviction I've learned how to cultivate in my own life.

I'll be launching my coaching business in a BIG WAY soon, but until then, I'm offering up a few early spots to women who’ve lived through a crisis and are ready to "up their game" and find their true calling in life. It's never too late to start living your legacy.

Reach out if you'd like to book a call to discuss what's keeping you up at night, or what you're struggling with the most. Let's find out if we're a good fit to work together.

Today is World Stroke Day. Strokes can happen to anyone, at any time. Please get familiar with the B.E. F.A.S.T. system for identifying a stroke!
B = Balance
E = Eyesight
F = Face

Time lost is Brain lost

I was honored to be a guest on the Zarlequan podcast with host Brittani Starr. I had to take it from my car, but I think it turned out Okay. I love spreading my message of hope and healing.

My new book, "Identity Crisis: You Are Not Your Career" is finally published and available on Amazon. Crazy timing, since I just got laid off from my "day" job at T-Mobile. But with the right mindset and a strong grasp of my purpose, I've been able to move forward from my loss. It still sucks, but it's not causing an identity crisis. NOT THIS TIME!!! If you or someone you know has suffered a job or career loss and is having a difficult time processing or moving forward, please share this book. From Oct. 3-7, it will be available for FREE!! Download it during that window, and please leave a review to help the book rank in searches. Thank you!!

Identity Crisis: You Are Not Your Career

09/23/2023

Hi everyone! I got laid off from my "day job" this week, which is a bummer! I guess that means I can now pursue this writing career with gusto! I'm excited to pour my heart and soul into this, and really give it a fighting chance. I'm also looking at speaking opportunities. So if you know of any groups that could benefit from my talk on post-stroke anxiety and post-stroke depression, and/or my 10 Mental Health Hacks talk, please let me know. Thank you!

09/12/2023

I recently had the honor of being a guest on the "Recovery After Stroke" podcast with Bill Gasiamis, where we talked about post-stroke anxiety (PSA) and post-stroke depression (PSD) among other things. Bill's podcast is SO important, as is the work he does with fellow stroke survivors. Take a listen or watch the interview here.

Angie Read's mission is to advocate for mental health recovery after a stroke so that it too becomes just as crucial during rehab as physical recovery.

08/21/2023

I'm excited to speak to the Advent Health Stroke Support group tonight in Shawnee Mission, KS. I hope I'm able to offer hope and help to other stroke survivors who've been dealing with post-stroke anxiety and depression. These conditions are far more common than they need to be, but there's no need to suffer in silence.

08/20/2023

Hello. If you belong to a stroke survivors support group and are looking for speakers, I would love to be considered. I'm happy to join via Zoom/Google Meet/Teams, so it doesn't matter where you're located. Or, for a small fee, I could travel to your city. I enjoy sharing my story and experience to help others realize they aren't alone if they're going through something similar. Feel free to reach out to me via email: [email protected] or FB Messenger. All my best - Angie

A stroke can affect your ability to administer self-care effectively. You may lose interest in bathing, showering, and caring for yourself. You may not have the energy or interest in what it takes to go for a walk, take a shower, read a book, or do anything that makes you feel good. These are also warning signs of depression. Please seek mental health assistance ASAP if you notice any of these feelings.

Executive dysfunction is the brain’s inability to regulate emotion, thinking, and actions. This happens because the brain has been altered and can no longer process things as it used to. Emotions can get the better of you. Restraint is just out of reach. You may be easily angered or frustrated, and it comes out in ways it never would have before the stroke. I'm sending out hope and healing thoughts to my fellow stroke survivors!

08/14/2023

There is power and resilience in the human spirit. Everyone has the strength to overcome their struggles and challenges, and with the right tools and support, you can not only survive after a debilitating stroke; you can thrive.

Fighting through mental health issues can be more than half the battle back after a brain injury. For some people, it takes years to recover, but recovery is possible. You don’t have to fight through the fog alone. If you're struggling, reach out. I may be able to help, or read my book, "Invisible Scars: Stroke Survival, Recovery, and the Unexpected Mental Health Fallout."

Did you know: approximately 800,000 people have a stroke every year in the U.S.?
