  • Rob's Story (SCI Recovery)
    Jan 7 2025

    Welcome back to another episode of the You're Not Alone Podcast!

    Join us this week as we are joined by Rob and Jami Holley, a local Arizona power couple that are here to share their family’s story of how Rob acquired a spinal cord injury. Rob was injured on August 7, 2021 after a fun day on Lake Pleasant turned into a nightmare. The self-described giant who always helped everyone with everything had to now learn to ask and accept help as he navigated life with quadriplegia.

    Rob and Jami candidly share their perspectives of how they manage recovery, marriage, parenting and life both individually and as a couple. It hasn’t been an easy journey by any means, but Rob believes that humor and taking it one day at a time with a positive attitude has been vital in his recovery.

    Take a listen and hear how the Holley family is making it work, one day at a time, one step at a time.

    Thank you, Rob & Jami, for sharing your story!

  • Michael's Story (GBS Recovery)
    Dec 24 2024

    Welcome back to another episode of the You're Not Alone Podcast!

    We are joined by Michael, sharing his story of recovery with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). GBS is a rare autoimmune disorder in which the body begins attacking its own nerves, resulting in weakness, numbness, paralysis, and can potentially become fatal.

    Before GBS, Michael spent hours practicing meditation, yoga, hiking, and traveling. GBS stopped him right in his tracks, paralyzing his right side.

    Thankfully, his mother was a physical therapist and provided him sound advice: "Listen to the diagnosis, and ignore the prognosis."

    Michael has spent countless hours in physical therapy to regain his function and is working hard toward his goal of walking independently again. Michael is candid about living life with GBS and how he manages to remain resilient on his journey.

    Thank you, Michael, for sharing your story!

    Welcome back to another episode of the You're Not Alone Podcast!

    Join us as we talk with Sheila who shares her two year journey with Long Covid. Sheila has had a fair share of physical therapy throughout her life, but never did she think she would need to implement both physical and occupational therapies to regain independence in her life.

    Sheila shares details of how she lost and found her faith, spent much time researching how best to heal her brain, and the hard work that went into making her comeback.

    Sheila recently attained her bachelors degree from Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) and is currently pursuing her masters degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, on track to graduate in December 2025.

    We are so proud of you, Sheila! Congratulations on your successful achievements!
