She woke up paralysed. In this extraordinary episode, Reese shares with Dean James the terrifying moment she learned she’d had a stroke on the operating table—and was told she’d never walk unaided again. But Reese refused to accept that fate. Armed with fierce determination and a deep understanding of neuroplasticity, she rewired her brain and reclaimed 99% of her movement. Now a best-selling author and holistic mental health professional, Reese uses her story of survival and science to help others rise from adversity and unlock their full potential. This is not just recovery—it’s reinvention.</p><p><br></p><p>To find out more about Reese's work <a href=\"https://traumatobliss.ca/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here</a></p><p>To order Reese's books on recovering from hemiplegia <a href=\"https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09NDNKRYD?ref_=dbs_p_pwh_rwt_cpsb_vgsr&amp;storeType=ebooks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here</a></p><p>For Reese's book outlining her methods of practices as a mental health practitioner <a href=\"https://www.amazon.ca/Becoming-Blissful-Method-Recovery-Workbook/dp/1068925604/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4fjUDjyA3_U4JYFKergYV6swkb8mAWc9bc3fHLp4oezDTRefuLbKK6f7DZPJZDcTXfbMwL31YIxfVpTaAWhXGpAE8S0KuzHntj00GeRRALC7Ldk2FFQvRqoXGo2zl4am3ILp6PtMTypO0KJe4rFe-QR6-JR5VLOx77gXZo_xLg0IP52x2oGSORHymXXqXDX0lNqnw3e3Nbtkp9dfHCeWvRNuPSOo18Jw9_SZJWua_nY.-TfM2rV8V8iPANTxWK843ALqd8DgwaDX1uM8nA72GgA&amp;qid=1728524755&amp;sr=1-1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you need information or support about any of the themes explored in this episode, please follow the links below:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.osmosis.org/answers/Hemiplegia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">What is Hemiplegia</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.thebraincharity.org.uk/condition/hemiplegia/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Brain Charity</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.spinalcord.com/hemiplegia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Living with Hemiplegia</a></p><p><a href=\"https://psychcentral.com/health/what-is-neuroplasticity\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">What is Neuroplasticity</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>Don't forget to like, subscribe, share, connect and comment...we can only grow with your help!</em></strong></p><p><a href=\"https://open.acast.com/networks/66bf306447151aa1d3c5bc07/shows/66bf317747151aa1d3c63970/episodes/www.u2bdc.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.u2bdc.com</a></p><p><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/1lfS9VJJVYys8bEhNUMqZ1?si=b9d99966730f4d33\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify</a></p><p><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u2bdc-used-to-bes-do-count/id1764966220\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCkXzxsrWqMcAj4rLY9TCsA\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube</a></p><p><a href=\"https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/438a8945-f733-4be8-9bbe-a74c500b293d/u2bdc-used-to-be's-do-count\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon Music</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.deezer.com/en/show/1001182851\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/u2bdc.pod/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563487515578\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@u2bdc\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok</a></p>","author_name":"Dean James"}
