The weekend before my accident, I was a busy bee. But honestly? That was just our normal with four energetic boys. I was working overnight shifts on the weekends, going to school during the week, and loving every minute of our chaotic, beautiful life. At 34, I was athletic, loved obstacle course races, and was always on the move. That particular weekend was a whirlwind: I passed my embalming finals, we celebrated our son’s 12th birthday, our boys conquered a mud run, and I ma

Recovery after a brain injury is a journey unlike any other. It’s filled with ups and downs, moments of hope, and times when the challenges seem insurmountable. I know this firsthand. Every day, I face obstacles that test my strength, patience, and resolve. But here’s the truth: overcoming recovery obstacles is possible.

🏔️ —and we want to speak at your next event! Hey everyone! As many of you know, my life changed forever in 2022 after a severe accident. Navigating the trials of 2022 and the adventures of 2025 taught me firsthand what it takes to survive and thrive after a brain injury. More importantly, it showed me the power of God’s saving grace.

🧠 A Deeper Look at Neuro-Healing

When we think of "brain food," our minds usually jump to raw kale, plain nuts, or a piece of baked fish. And while those are incredible for neurological health, let's be honest: some days, your soul just needs a warm bowl of comfort food.

We are kicking off the week by celebrating what our bodies can do. When recovering from a brain injury, movement does more than just build muscle—it directly changes the architecture of your brain.

Sir David Attenborough, the British broadcaster and natural historian whose nature documentaries transformed how audiences see the natural world, turns 100 today.

When we talk about "suffering," we often speak of it as something to get through—a dark tunnel we hope to exit quickly. But for many of us, the tunnel is long. We grieve the way our brains used to work, the ease of conversation we once had, and the energy we used to take for granted.

As I’m sure is the case for you and yours, May has been a blur…and a particularly tender and tearful blur for me. It’s tempting to resent the limitations closing in around us. They force us to acknowledge the people we will never be. The dreams that will have to die. The paths we cannot travel down. All of us have an inner Peter Pan demanding that we never grow up, that we remain limitless.

Hi friends!

When we experience a brain injury, "certainty" often feels like a thing of the past. We don't know how we will feel when we wake up, we don't know when the words will return, and we don't know what the timeline of recovery looks like.

We are sharing with YOU some wonderful programs that are available to everyone nationwide!

When we are recovering from a brain injury, we aren't just eating for our stomachs—we are eating for our neurons. We are continuing to focus on Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Think of Omega-3s as the "oil" that keeps the gears of your brain turning smoothly. They help improve memory, mood, and long-term brain health.

After a brain injury, our nervous system can often feel like it’s stuck in "high alert" or "survival mode." This can lead to that heavy brain fatigue we talked about, as well as increased sensitivity to light and sound.
