RenéMarie Stroke of Luck Podcast & TV Show March 9, 2025, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM ~ Family Reunion A Journey of Resilience, Hope, and Triumph RenéMarie, along with co-hosts Evan and very special return guests Jo Ann Glim and Matthew Weingartner, share inspiring stories of overcoming adversity and the power of perseverance. The RenéMarie Stroke of Luck Podcast & TV Show, RenéMarie, along with co-hosts Evan, will be joined by two incredible individuals whose stories of survival and recovery will inspire and uplift audiences. Returning guest Jo Ann Glim and guest Matthew will share their deeply personal journeys, showing the world that no matter the obstacles, the strength to persevere and overcome can light the way forward. JoAnn Glim’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. After suffering a stroke, JoAnn’s life was irrevocably altered. Left paralyzed, unable to speak, walk, or see clearly, JoAnn was trapped within her own body. Her world became confined to a hospital bed as she faced a seemingly insurmountable struggle to regain her independence. But through months of therapy and unwavering determination, Jo Ann slowly regained the ability to speak, move, and eventually, live independently again. Her powerful journey offers a beacon of hope for stroke survivors, their families, and caregivers, demonstrating that recovery, while a long and challenging process, is possible. JoAnn’s resilience also provides valuable insight to medical professionals, helping them better understand the trials patients face on their road to recovery. Today, JoAnn is not only grateful for life but is also at peace with God, offering a story of perseverance and triumph that continues to inspire others every day. Matthew’s life was also upended by health challenges, but his story too is one of overcoming adversity. As an avid athlete in high school, Matthew helped lead his baseball team to a state championship and even earned a college scholarship. However, after failing an EKG test, Matthew was diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm, a life-threatening condition that led to open-heart surgery in December 2006. Against the odds, he recovered and played baseball at Farmingdale State for three more years, even making it to the 2009 NCAA Division III World Series. However, after graduation, Matthew’s journey took a different turn. His aspiration to pursue law enforcement was thwarted due to his heart surgery, but he found new paths in public safety and HVAC contracting. But in 2017, he switched careers to apprentice with the Local 3 Electrical Union—only for his life to take another drastic turn. In April 2018, Matthew suffered a massive ischemic stroke that changed everything. Despite facing an intense recovery and long months of therapy, Matthew has remained connected to his community by volunteering with his high school baseball coach and at a local gym. He remains hopeful and determined to regain his independence and one day return to work. Matthew dreams of becoming a motivational speaker and is passionate about advocating for breakthroughs in stem cell research that could help him and others regain movement, particularly in their hands and fingers. This upcoming episode of RenéMarie Stroke of Luck Podcast & TV Show will be a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of never giving up, no matter the challenges we face. Through the stories of Jo Ann and Matthew, audiences will witness the incredible power of resilience, hope, and perseverance. Tune in to hear from these courageous individuals as they share how they have overcome obstacles and continue to inspire others on their own paths to recovery and hope. Here we go…. RenéMarie

Thank you, Dr. Mike, for always bringing fresh ideas and expertise to our discussions! ________________ Cathy and Bobby Baby Walker are not only dear friends but also an essential part of the Foundations family. They have played a vital role in the development and inception of our organization. As we shared during our 10th Annual Telethon, their journey has been far from easy. In recent years, Bobby has faced even greater challenges. He has endured four strokes, each one leaving lasting effects. One of the most difficult consequences has been aphasia, a condition that deeply impacts his ability to communicate. From my own experience, I’ve often shared how heartbreaking it can be when you’re unable to express yourself or process the words you long to say. Bobby has long struggled with high blood pressure. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a serious health concern for men in general, but it disproportionately affects African American men. The risks associated with hypertension are more pronounced in this demographic, and the consequences can be severe if left unmanaged. But the challenges don’t end there ~ despite all of this, they continue to press forward—how do they survive, and how are they doing? Cathy’s special needs brother has been nothing short of an angel for them, providing unwavering support. The truth is, they could never have made it this far without him. To add to their burdens, Cathy recently became a victim of a scam, highlighting just how ruthless and deceptive these situations can be. Tune in to learn more about their incredible journey and how they continue to navigate these challenges with strength, resilience, and love. ______________________________ Samantha Long - Samlynnlong@gmail.com Samantha Long, RYT-500, is the founder of Aligned Heart, a practice dedicated to healing through the body with a focus on nervous system regulation and trauma-informed self-care.
