Sandra Lee speaks with keynote speaker Roderick Jefferson about the experience that interrupted a demanding corporate career and invited him to reconsider what he had been working so hard to achieve. Roderick shares his experience of stroke, losing abilities he once took for granted, and gradually relearning aspects of speech and movement.
He reflects on the people who stayed beside him, the small things he began to notice differently, and the question that now shapes how he thinks about success: at what cost?
Their conversation explores presence, family, purpose, self-care, and Roderick’s idea of replacing work-life balance with “work-life wellness.” His story also invites a closer look at the priorities and everyday moments we may overlook.
As you listen, consider where your own pursuit of success may be inviting you to become more present with what already matters.
What You’re Invited to Discover:
- The tension between success and being truly present
- A new way to think about work-life wellness
- The role of repetition, relationships, and encouragement in relearning
- What changes when everyday abilities can no longer be taken for granted
- One powerful question about ambition: at what cost?

About the Host:
Sandra Lee has spent almost 40 years helping people feel and function better by addressing what standard treatment often misses: unresolved trauma and emotional patterns stored in the body. She is the creator of The Spectrum of Anger™ and The Witnessed Body™, integrating Intuitive Sound Healing and Combat Brain Training to support brain injury recovery, brain health, and dementia. Her work is grounded in the belief that symptoms are messages, not malfunctions, and that when those messages are received and released, the body can do what it already knows how to do.
