Stroke Survivor Rebuilds Her Life From Scratch

What happens when your body shuts down, but your mind is still fully awake? At just 23, Harshada Rajani found herself completely locked in, unable to move, speak, or even blink. But this is not a story of defeat. It's a story of defiance, writing her way back to the world, reclaiming her identity, and choosing to shine instead of shrink.

Whether you’re early in your stroke recovery or deep in the process of redefining your life, Harshada’s story is proof that hope is real, progress is possible, and you are not alone.
