Facing the Mirror: Finding Myself - Tania Saiz' Story
Manage episode 455837478 series 3526680
This week on Beyond Stillness: Stories After Stroke, we welcome Tania Saiz—advocate, mindset facilitator, and neurodivergent artist whose creations celebrate perfect imperfections. After surviving an ischemic stroke in August 2020, Tania faced an overwhelming sense of disconnect. Mirrors became adversaries, and her own reflection felt like a stranger—fragile and unrecognizable. Yet, amidst this void, she began to rebuild.
Through courage and patience, each moment of eye contact became an act of reconnection. What once reflected weakness grew into a mirror of strength and possibility. Tania’s story is a journey from disconnection to profound connection—with herself and her community—a testament to resilience, growth, and the beauty of rediscovery.
