Overcoming Aphasia: Pete Cody's Journey and Community Impact
In this episode, we talk to Pete Cody, a former Mondelez Cadbury salesman who became a peer leader for Say Aphasia after a serious car accident left him with aphasia. Pete discusses the challenges he faced transitioning from a high-paced sales job to living with a communication disorder, and how he found purpose by running aphasia support groups in Darlington and Bishop Auckland. He shares stories of personal struggles, the importance of community support, and the growth and impact of the aphasia groups he leads. The conversation highlights both the isolation that can come with aphasia and the hope and connection found through dedicated support networks.
