Overcoming a Cavernous Angioma and Finding Self-Love After Stroke | Mimi Hayes EP 59

At just 22, Mimi Hayes was on the verge of starting her dream career as a high school teacher when her life took an unexpected turn. A brain bleed caused by a cavernous angioma left her facing the unimaginable: relearning to walk, talk, and live again. In this powerful video, Mimi shares her raw and inspiring journey from the initial shock of her diagnosis to the long road of recovery.

Discover how Mimi turned a traumatic stroke into a story of resilience and self-discovery. Through intense therapy, sheer determination, and a little bit of humor, she fought her way back to the classroom and reclaimed her life. But the battle wasn’t just physical—Mimi had to learn the importance of self-love and acceptance, even as she navigated the emotional toll on herself and her family.

If you're a stroke survivor or know someone who is, Mimi’s story will resonate deeply. She opens up about the challenges of returning to a "normal" life, the invisible disabilities she continues to manage, and the ongoing journey to embrace who she is today.
