Are you stuck in too tight of a routine????

Recovery after brain injury is a journey of recalibration - finding confidence and consistency while learning to flex, shift, and live beyond the edges.

If you're navigating the push- pull of healing and daily life you are not alone.

Let's explore the wisdom of routine and the grace beyond it.

Rebuilding after brain injury isn’t just about healing—it’s about proving to yourself what’s still possible.
Together, we put in the work.

It's time to stand again in confidence with your brain.

Concussion symptoms may be delayed, subtle, or evolve over time.

That’s why return to activity or sport is not worth the risk. Rushing back too soon can hinder neurological recovery, prolong recovery, or even result in death.

Let’s prioritize brain health!

Screens off for the first 24 to 48 hours after concussion- yes all of them šŸ“µ

Research shows that too much screen time early on can actually delay recovery. screens put a strain on your eyes, can aggravate light sensitivity, and often trigger headaches.

They also require visual tracking, attention, cognitive effort, and vestibular stability... exactly what your brain is trying to rest from.

Give your brain the break it deserves 🧠

Your vacations are longer than 24 to 48 hours so I know your screens can be off for that long too. šŸ˜‰

Still think you shouldn't sleep after concussion? 🫣
That myth needs to go!

Let them sleep (unless red flag symptoms=ER)

Sleep helps the brain heal

Quiet check-ins are fine- watch for respiration, restlessness and make sure no red flags are appearing

Track the sleep, and asleep routine becomes really extra important

Seek out a sleep doctor who truly gets brain injury.

Featured facts...🧠 Did you know helmets don’t prevent concussions?

It’s true! Helmets are crucial for protecting your skull and face, but they can’t stop the internal movement of your brain during impact.

That’s why understanding brain injuries goes beyond just wearing a helmet.

When rehab end and or if it never begins this iceberg doesn't have to be a solo expedition to explore.

As a provider, I got really tired of insurance dictating goals, function, progress and limiting potential.

As a speech language pathologist, I knew that cognition, including attention, memory, problem solving, organization, reasoning, self-initiation, self-motivation, planning, and self-evaluation we're all areas showing up all day every day. The things out brain needs to do to not only survive but to thrive has an enormous effect on cognitive endurance and confidence.

The question was, how could I not only educate people about brain injury and cognition but also teach them to navigate with confidence and advocate?

How could I collaborate with other providers and develop deep connections to other providers and resources that I knew my clients would benefit from?

How could I meet clients exactly where they're at with their very real life examples of navigating life after brain injury without having to argue with insurance for the care they deserved and needed?

How could I not burn out with all this passion and dedication to giving the brain injury community all these things?

The answer was, The Well Brain cognitive health coaching!!!

If you or your loved one is navigating life after brain injury, book the connection call and let's lift that iceberg together.

Who doesn't talk about brains??

I know I'm the friend, you don't want to need. I'm also the friend, that can find ways to educate about brain injury in random conversation with strangers, acquaintances, and friends.😜

Here are the top five things I find myself sharing about the most.

1-helmets don't prevent concussion. This often is in response to the phrase, "at least he has a helmet on." Which is true AND helmets can protect against more severe brain injury.

2-the myth about waking people up throughout the night is still pretty proliferate. I bust the myth and let parents know that it's great to go in and check on their kids but not to wake them but to allow the brain to rest.

3-I'll take the heat when it comes to no screen time and really slow progression to return to screen time. I give parents permission to blame Mrs Barlow. If it's my own kids, I let .rheaume
tell them šŸ˜‚

4- ok this one is usually in the heat of the post concussive moment and can often feel the most important (and scary) for me to advocate on behalf of the kiddo. This communication can often be with both parents and/or coaches. I've had to refute the claim that "they don't look like they have had a concussion" with education that concussion symptoms are not always immediate and it's the number one reason why we don't return to sport or activity right away. I usually then educate a bit more about the types of concussion symptoms that are important to watch for. I wrap up with, that although in this moment the activity or sport seems really important, brain health can be altered in these next decisions.

5-the long-term health of kids' brains is just one of the millions of decisions and thoughts in parents awareness. You will annoy them for far less then taking care of the organ that controls it all for the rest of their life. Hearing them repeat I am bored over and over again while doing the low and slow return to learn and return to play process it's a small price to pay in the health and well-being of our greatest little gifts as parents.

Parents, you're doing a really great job and I'm hopeful that you'll join me in being a really cool (mom) and share this post.

Brain health education continues!!

This certification is a milestone and I learned a TON!

- 50 hours of learning principles of brain health, the revolution needed for scientific change, SPECT, and Neuroscience for brain healing

- collaboration and building connections with fellow cohort 1 like-brain humans.

- SPECT scan practicums

Really excited to be surrounded by a community motivated to address brain health and create a ripple effect that makes brain health the priority it deserves to be.

Hey Google, do I have a concussion?

Here's a few quick concussion facts.

-concussions are caused by a blow, bump, or Jill to the head or hit to the body causing the head and brain to move rapidly. Yes it's a brain injury, because your brain is injured in that rapid acceleration/declaration with sheering of neuronal connections and the resulting neuro-metabolic cascade of chemistry changes within the brain.

-concussion symptoms may not show up right away, it can take hours or days for symptoms to appear or for you to notice. Adrenal is great for masking symptoms. Paying attention to your self and asking for support from those who know you can help you notice things.

-symptoms of concussion can be physical, cognitive, social, emotional, sleep changes, changes to vision/eyes, and hearing/sound.

-concussions do not show up on x-rays or CTs. Those are meant to rule out skull fractures, bleeds and swelling.
