Hello Lovelies ! Welcome to A Stroke of Life Podcast !

For the month of September, I had this urge to be productive and to get my sh*t together !Maybe it’s the time of year where it’s cooler and people are back to school, I really wanted to be productive! But, that didn’t really go as planned …. As I was reflecting, I realized having a routine is so important. So, today I want to talk about routines and why they are important !

Thanks for listening & Cheers to Growing !

For those who are new here, welcome ! My name is Anita and welcome to my stroke of life :) A stroke of life is based on my personal experiences ever since I had a stroke at 24, my stroke of life moment changed my life completely and I want to share my experiences with you all while we all navigate through this journey called life :)

What is a stroke of life moment ? It can be literal or metaphoric, everyone has one or more stroke of life moments. It is an eye opening experience tailored to the individual ( big or small) that changed their life completely (from growing, gaining new perspectives, gaining a better understanding of themselves, and oftentimes it can be quite uncomfortable). The result of that is a stroke of a life moment.

So, what is your stroke of life moment?
