We finally get to have Thea on the program!

The high energy and positive Warrior tells us a bit about her journey to date. The road traveled includes her Dad having a stroke in the middle of her four concussions in a two year window. We learn about how they help each other to this date.

In addition, Thea explains how having a close friend who also has experienced a TBI has been beneficial to recovery.

Hello Warriors and Battle Buddies!
Here we go with Episode 136, Terry, the inspiration for the program will join us shortly along with today's guest, Kristen Curry

Kristen had an accident on her bicycle back in February 2015. Since that point she has been digging out and trying to heal.

She has taken the approach of using many different, what might be considered "alternative" methods and approaches along the way. She feels that the changed her life significantly for the better. This came after not really getting much out of the traditional treatments.

Like many, after the injury she lost her job, her hobbies, and many of her friends. But she also found her spark, her energy and her confidence during these toughest of times.

Today Kristen finds herself in a very good spot, and is in year 1 of her PhD at Rice University in Texas.

Kristen tells us why she actually prefers it when people say the do not understand Brain Injury, about her research in holistic treatments and the fact that she believes full recovery is 100% possible.

Hello Warriors and Battle Buddies!
Here we go with episode 132!
Today's chat is built around exercise after experiencing a Traumatic Brain Injury. We explore some ways that it is beneficial and pass along some comments from some scientific study on the subject. We all know that movement and exercise in general is good for us, but it can be even more challenging to those in this community to get started or continue.

Terry has a very unique perspective on the subject. She was workout machine, a certified personal trainer, and a Special Education teacher prior to her last injury. Currently she is building a modified program for herself. Blending these three attributes together really offers some cool insight into the topic discussed today.

We touch base on some science, the specific benefits for TBI Warriors, starting where you are at, as well as offering some strategies. As an added bonus we also pass along some pointers to the Battle Buddies and how they may be able to help their loved one along.

Hello Warriors and Battle Buddies!

Welcome to A BATTLE WITHIN, Episode 096. Today we are joined by special guest Kelly O'Neill From B is For Brain.

A BATTLE WITHIN is about our life experiences and those of our guests living with and healing from Traumatic Brain Injuries with an emphasis on the Post Concussion Syndrome otherwise known as (PCS)

The conversations are real, raw and uncensored from both the warrior and caregiver perspectives.

It is our desire that this platform be a useful way to create awareness around the invisible injury. We aim to help those in the battle, whether that is you the Warrior or you the Battle Buddy by offering the stories and resources we have found along the way in our own journey..

To preview the conversation with Kelly O'Neill. If you have been around here for any period of time you know we talk about the fact that a Traumatic Brain Injury deeply affects many people, not just the injured person.

That was certainly the case for Kelly. Her dear friend Tyler is hit by a car on his bicycle back in 2013. During his recovery he had a series of serious setbacks and obstacles to overcome. During all of this Kelly was not only very present, but extremely active in helping Tyler recover.

Tyler's accident and injuries drastically changed how Kelly approaches life in the most significant ways. Today they remain the closest of friends and have put themselves forward to help others through B is for Brain.

Through this platform they connect heads and hearts through inclusive yoga where the proceeds go to support brain injury survivors.

Listen in to find out why Tyler is the best human ever and exactly why he is Kelly's real life super hero!
