  Hi everyone, I’m Aaron Avila. As the CEO of Stroke TV Media Network , I spend my days supporting our worldwide survivor community. In 2026, I’m taking that mission a step further with my upcoming book, RELENTLESS. This memoir is more than just my story of survival; it’s a roadmap for the lessons I’ve learned and a testament to the power of the human spirit. I want to communicate a simple but profound truth: your mindset is the very foundation to achieving a meaningful and impactful life. Remember,  " Where the mind goes, the body follows". "Truth" If you want to change your life, change the way you think. The cover design reflects this philosophy—it is clean, bold, and easy to read. I want this book to inspire a life of gratitude and thankfulness in everyone who picks it up, because your mindset is what ultimately determines your path. Sincerely, Aaron Avila   Stroke TV Media Network

"Rebuilding Life After Stroke: Why Recovery is the Wrong Word (and What Actually Works)"

Image
  Upcoming live Podcast June 2nd. My response to a Facebook post regarding  "stroke survivor loneliness"  I'm Aaron Avila , 16 years post-brain aneurysm and stroke . I know that deep, heavy feeling you're carrying, because I've lived it too and I still battle loneliness now and then but not nearly as much as I used to.. Here's what I've learned: the word "recovery" is actually doing more harm than good. Doctors use it like we just had a cold or broke a bone, as if our brain will magically fix itself. It doesn't. After meeting hundreds of stroke survivors, I've seen how that word leaves so many of us feeling like failures when our lives don't snap back to normal. That's why I am building Stroke TV Media Network . We don't talk about recovery anymore. We talk about rebuilding life after stroke . Recovery is a noun, it just sits there and waits. Rebuilding is a verb. It takes effort, mindset , and action. And with the right eff...

The Truth Is The Truth

Image
Hi, thank you for taking the time to read my story. In September 2010, my life changed in an instant when I suffered a brain aneurysm and a stroke . During this medical crisis, I experienced what many call a near-death experience (NDE) . I can tell you from my own journey: I died that day, and it was the most transformative event I have ever known. I am here to assure you that our life on earth is not the end. My experience gave me the peace of knowing that our true life begins when we transition. Because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, the penalty for our sins has been paid. This gift allows us to bypass judgment and enter into a deep, personal relationship with God, our Creator and Father, both today and for eternity. Whenever I listen to certain worship music, I am moved to tears of true gratitude for what was done for us. If you are searching for hope or direction in your own stroke recovery or health battle, I encourage you to look at the Word: "Jesus said to him,...

Hi My Stroke Survivor Peeps!

Image
  I am thrilled to share that I’m currently working on a groundbreaking project called Accelerated Neuro R ebuilding  alongside Founder and Neuroplastician John Kennedy . I have been personally immersed in the military-grade version of this program for about two weeks now, and the results are honestly incredible. This isn't just theory—it is a proven method originally developed for and tested by elite military forces to enhance cognitive performance under pressure. Why this matters for our community: This course is designed to tackle the most common challenges we face after a stroke, including Aphasia .  Beyond stroke recovery, it has shown remarkable success in helping individuals manage ADHD, TBI, and CTE, or virtually any neurological brain health issue. I’m seeing the "wow" factor firsthand and can't wait to dive deeper into the details with you all very soon. In the meantime, you can check out the new website I’m building for the project to stay updated. Explore...

  Take it from me friends , be grateful for the beauty around you. Most of all, enjoy your ability to go outside and enjoy God's creation. Trust me, in a blink of an eye, you can lose your abilities to go outside and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. As fast as lightning strikes I became a stroke in 2010!   This picture was taken two months prior to my brain aneurysm and stroke. If you go, post your pictures & tag me!

From Darkness to Divine Light

Image
 Hi, I'm Aaron Avila , I'm a 16 year post brain aneurysm and stroke . I suffered a subachnoid brain aneurysm and stroke at age 47 in 2010 . Not only was this absolutely life shattering, I found my life purpose in what should have snuffed out my lifes spark from this earth. But wait! I was given something very few are given in this time of life. I found my purpose in life through this pain. I was given a second chance at life on earth through a Near Death Experience. This near death experience was absolutely life changing! More life changing than my brain aneurysm and stroke. I know 100% for sure that life continues even though our body dies. I learned that you and I are eternal spiritual beings learning to live in human body. This Near Death Experience opened my eyes to the truth of life on planet earth.

I'm One Of The Ones Who Survived!

Image
Hi, I’m Aaron Avila. Back in 2010, at the age of 47, my life changed in an instant when a brain aneurysm ruptured . The prognosis was grim; doctors told my wife I had only a 2% chance of survival. They warned her that if I did make it through the hemorrhage, I would likely spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair—non-verbal and unable to care for myself. But I’m here to tell you: I made it. It hasn’t been an easy road. For sixteen years, I’ve navigated life from a wheelchair, managing a speech deficit and left-side hemiparesis. But during a near-death experience , I felt God give me a second chance—a true "life-changer" that redefined everything for me. Today, I have a new mission: to encourage and inspire stroke survivors across the globe. By turning my "pain into purpose," I founded the Stroke TV Media Network . My goal is to show others that a meaningful, vibrant life is possible after a stroke. Let’s Connect: Listen & Join: I’d love to have you as a guest ...

Stepping Back Moving Forward After Stroke

Image
  Starting April 1st, 2026, I’m shifting my schedule to focus on a vital new project: my physical rebuilding. To create space for this, my new office hours will be 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM PT, Monday through Friday . You can always reach me at aaronavila.stroketv@gmail.com . The rest of my day will be spent in the "lab" of my recovery. I’m committing to a disciplined routine of Accelerated Neuro Recovery, Mirror Therapy, and targeted strength training. Some might say that after 16 years, certain goals are out of reach. But I’m wired to stay relentless. My goal is to walk and drive again—not just for my own independence, but so I can better serve our local survivor community and volunteer at local hospitals. What’s coming up at Stroke TV: Progress Updates: Every Friday, I’ll be posting Shorts to share my therapy progress and the lessons I’m learning along the way. Podcast Launch: We are gearing up for a major launch! I’m looking to "can" a month’s worth of content (eight...
