Episode #5
For National Stroke Awareness Month , we shine a spotlight on Lana Wilhelm—a nurse, author, caregiver, and advocate. After her husband suffered a sudden, major stroke, Lana's life shifted from medical professional to full-time caregiver, a role she found arduous and lonely. Lana, founder of the Stroke Caregiver Connection , runs support groups and has met with over 2,000 caregivers, offering understanding for the tumultuous path of providing constant care. She’ll speak about navigating burnout, the emotional journey from anger and grief, and the key mindset shift that allows caregivers and survivors to focus on what they can still do. In this inspiring conversation, Lana shares how she and her husband have adapted their lives as travelers, providing actionable tips for planning trips after a major medical event, and proving that enjoyable adventures are still possible. Tune in for an honest look at life after a stroke and how fellowship, humor, and a change in perspective can transform the quality of life for both survivors and caregivers
