In this episode, our host Joe and his partner and our producer Felice talk about a very special dog that belonged to our good friends Jon and Patricia. She was key to Joe’s mental health during his first days home from the hospital following his stroke. This beautiful pup’s name was Boo and she just passed away last week. We’re dedicating this episode to Boo and talking about how animals are a huge support and comfort during times of stress and trauma, whether that be mental, physical, or both. Do you have a special animal that supports you through the ups and downs of life? Please share with us on our socials.

In this episode Joe is chatting with fellow stroke survivor and podcaster, Eryn Martin. They share how they both found support in the recovery through podcasting and how their journeys to becoming starting their own podcasts were very similar. Plus they talk about Eryn’s recovery, community and connecting with other survivors. If you are a brain injury survivor, how do you connect with community? Please share on our socials!
