In this inspiring episode of Life Gets MoCrazy, host Jamie MoCrazy sits down with Ian McGann, an emerging advocate and survivor of a rare brain stem stroke with only a 5% survival rate. From being paralyzed and misjudged in a critical moment to walking unassisted within 30 days, Ian shares his harrowing and hopeful recovery journey.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The life-threatening stroke that left Ian with locked-in syndrome—and how bias in the ER delayed his care
- The mental health impact of recovery, including PTSD, suicidal ideation, and losing/regaining identity
- Unconventional therapies that helped Ian reclaim joy, including trauma retreats, yoga, and daily affirmations
