An estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with a traumatic brain injury and it’s impossible to know how many more people suffer every day. Kelly was at a complete stop in her car when she was struck by another vehicle from behind… going 60 mph. As you can imagine, there was severe damage to both the car and Kelly.
During this episode, you’ll hear Kelly’s journey from the moment of impact, through therapies, gaslighting physician visits, mental health challenges, and what she’s learned about herself and brain health along the way.
This episode will educate you, inspire you to look at others with more compassion, and provide tips on how to support others with traumatic brain injuries.

For TBI Survivors:
- Take your breaks (and practice deep breathing).
- Mark your improvement (show yourself that you are making progress).
- Feel it all (be mad, be sad, be angry).
For those supporting someone with a TBI:
- Validate their experience and believe what they’re telling you.
- Attend their appointments. Show up for them and take notes to help them decipher what is happening.
- Be steadfast- don’t give up on them.
