096: Connecting Heads and Hearts with Kelly O'Neill
12/21/20 • 47 min
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!
