    Exercise Is Brain Medicine l Ep 44

    Send Gabriella a Text Message. exercise, neuroplasticity, neurotransmitters, neuroscience Plot twist: exercise changes your brain perhaps even more than it does your body! To close out the season, I’m breaking down the actual neuroscience behind why movement helps mood, motivation, focus, recovery, brain fog, stress, and mental health—and how I experienced it rebuilding my life after being my accident - surgeries & come & all - and training my way back into myself. We get into neuroplasticity, BDNF (basically brain fertilizer), neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, nervous system regulation, inflammation, sleep, and why exercise can make your brain feel online again when it’s been stuck in survival mode. This episode isn’t fitness hype. It’s brain chemistry, biology, scientific evidence, and lived experience. I'm standing ten toes down: work out for the brain, the body will follow.

    Boundaries After Medical Trauma with Jessica Miller l Ep 43

    Send Gabriella a Text Message. healthy boundaries, medical trauma, invisible disability A long recovery can change far more than your physical body—it can completely alter how safe you feel in relationships, and suddenly something as simple as saying “no” can feel threatening.  I’m joined by Jessica Miller of Mind Your Boundaries to get very practical about what it actually looks like to set boundaries after medical trauma—especially when your symptoms are invisible and everyone assumes you’re fine because you “look normal.” Listen, boundary setting since getting hurt has been a double black diamond treacherous slope, but Jess gets right to it with her simple tools & education. We talk about why trauma can keep your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, how to regulate before hard conversations, and simple tools you can use in real time when you feel yourself spiraling. We dive into the raw, messy reality: family members who don’t understand your limitations, people pushing back when you finally start saying no, over-explaining yourself, people-pleasing, guilt, resentment, and what happens when protecting your peace costs you certain relationships. If you’re navigating recovery from medical trauma, brain injury, chronic pain, or any life-altering health event, this episode will give you practical tools, actual scripts, and a reminder that protecting yourself is not selfish—it’s necessary.

    Stop Telling People To Get Over It l Ep 42

    Send Gabriella a Text Message. trauma-informed care, recovery, boundaries, emotional healing “Just get over it” sounds like typical advice from the outside, but to someone living through trauma, it sounds dismissive and cheapens their experience. Let's unpack why that mindset fails—and what survivors actually need: patience, consent, compassion, and support that doesn’t turn into an interrogation or Barbara Walters interview (have sat for many of those).  You rarely know the full story behind someone’s pain and even survivors can still be uncovering the ripple effects years later. I also share what it feels like to be judged by people who know an itty bitty titty fraction of what happened—and why “mind your damn business” can be a very healthy boundary. We break down the difference between checking in with care versus pushing for details, how to encourage support without trying to control someone’s healing.  (I make it really easy for you, I literally I give you a sample script for how to ask someone about their recovery respectfully.)

    Crisis Alert!! Identity After Trauma Series (Part 3) l Ep 41

    Send Gabriella a Text Message. Trauma can erase the version of you that felt familiar. Then, you’re left figuring out who tf you are now. And that figuring out period, girrrrlllllll...... In part 3 of the Identity After Trauma Series, we're talking that fun lil Identity CRISIS aspect that gets violently pelted in. Trying to “go back to normal” can make recovery feel so damn much worse. And why??? Isn't the point of healing to get back to feeling like your old self??  - Not exactly, but I promise, it's ok! When your old life doesn't hit the same, that's not failure - that's change. We get into why forcing the “old you” leads to burnout—and how to sit in the in-between, get comfortable being uncomfortable, and define alignment in a way that actually feels good. I share what that looked like for me—letting go of a dream career, finding a new pace, and realizing I didn’t actually want everything I used to have. To all those in a season of recovery or major change, you’re not behind. You’re becoming.

    Brain Broke, Built a Business That Actually Listens l Ep 40

    Send Gabriella a Text Message. trauma-informed coaching, career pivot, TBI, recovery A brain injury or any health scare will clean up your priorities fast. Enter Stephanie Ang, a fellow TBI survivor who agrees with me that she would not let her pain be for nothing. From it, Stephanie created SGA Coaching & Consulting: trauma informed transformational coaching with an emphasis on TBI survivors. Stephanie & I talk about what happens when “just get back to work” doesn’t work for your brain, your energy, or your nervous system. We get into the grief of losing the old plan—and the unexpected relief of admitting a 9–5 isn't for you anymore. Stephanie turned her experience into SGA Coaching & Consulting, and we unpack what “holding space” actually means, why validation matters when systems don’t get you, and how to stop living by “shoulds.” If you’ve ever wanted to scream at someone who claims “I understand” when they absolutely do not understand—you’ll feel this. We also hit career redesign: job interviews or tasks that flare symptoms, toxic work culture, and why entrepreneurship can be an accessibility tool. Plus her “four F words,” tiny confidence-building experiments, and gratitude that isn’t gaslighting. If you’re navigating concussion, TBI, trauma, or a life plot twist—this one has real tools, not just vibes.
