Blake Murphy

Blake Murphy is the author of Still Here: And Still Choosing, a memoir about stroke survival, identity, and rebuilding your life after everything changes.

At 35, Blake survived a stroke that left him paralyzed on one side. What followed was a long recovery — learning to walk again, rethinking who he was, and choosing to build something new from what remained. That process became the book. It became the work.

Blake writes about resilience, neuroplasticity, biohacking, faith, and the slow, honest work of becoming yourself again after loss. He is a father, a writer, and a former public servant who spent years helping thousands of people through job searches, career workshops, and transitions of their own.

His message is simple: survival is not the end of the story. It is where the real one begins.
