How It Feels to Be Free with Sylvia Meek

Host Phebe Karen Beiser interviews Sylvia Meek, writer, speech pathologist, mother and polio survivor, about her work and her freedom to pursue her passions. In this episode Sylvia recounts her childhood through semi-autobiographical stories and speaks with candor and compassion about her most inspirational client - Maurice Stokes - whose life, cut short, forever changed hers. 

Through her practice of speech pathology, Sylvia has attained the goal she typically set forth for her patients - not to cure, but to maximize potential - as a mother, wife, writer and health care service provider.

"I just listened to this podcast. Great job to all involved. Sylvia, I
was so touched by your memories, particularly those about Maury Stokes.
I was head nurse on North 100 during his stay at Good Sam. I too
treasure pieces of his pottery and hold him in my heart as one of my
great teachers. Thanks for sharing your work. - Gerri Wittekind"
