About this listen
Fourteen years ago, Eric Jackson survived a stroke that changed the way he communicates and sees the world. When his insurance ran out early in his recovery, formal therapy stopped, but Eric didn’t. He built his own routine, practicing speech and physical exercises every day, reading anything he could out loud, even the back of a mustard bottle, determined not to lose ground. For more than a decade, no one officially diagnosed him with aphasia, and he didn’t even know the word until two years ago. In this episode, Eric shares what it was like to live with something he couldn’t name, how fatigue still affects his speech, and the resilience it takes to rebuild your voice when the system runs out but you refuse to.
