About this listen
Saran Chamberlain shares her journey as a young stroke survivor, from experiencing a life-changing event at 38 to becoming a national advocate for the stroke community.
• Initially misdiagnosed as a migraine, the stroke left her entire left side paralysed with no sensation
• Saran discusses the challenges of identity shift and the unseen deficits like fatigue, depression, and sensory overload
• Highlights the isolation younger stroke survivors often face in healthcare and rehabilitation settings
• Saran works on research co-design, speaks openly about stigma, and supports other survivors as a mentor.
• Emphasises the importance of meaningful inclusion of people with lived experience in research using "nothing about us without us" principles
• Believes in taking small wins and finding hope in the lifelong journey of post-stroke life
