Season 3 Ep 24: Jo Ann Glim, Surviving Stroke to Thriving
Listen here!
In this week’s Older & Bolder, Debbie McCulloch is joined by the powerful and resilient Jo Ann Glim, who opens up about surviving a life-altering stroke that left her unable to walk, speak, or see clearly. What followed was a powerful path of recovery filled with emotional hurdles, physical struggle, and unwavering determination.
Jo Ann shares how the trauma of her stroke brought back vivid memories of her mother’s own stroke decades earlier—one that ended in tragedy. But rather than accept defeat, Jo Ann chose to fight back. Her recovery journey not only gave her back her life, but launched a new chapter of advocacy and storytelling.
Now, Jo Ann is the host of Don’t Count Me Out, a podcast dedicated to amplifying the voices of stroke survivors. She’s also a published author, with the award-winning Begotten with Love and her latest release, Trapped Within: A True Story about Survival, Recovery, Love and Hope.
Jo Ann’s story is a powerful reminder of what it means to never give up, and why sharing our stories matters.
