On A Good Day
On A Good Day is the podcast delving into brain injury and its impact on all involved. Hosted by Elizabeth Callaghan and Julia Ajayi, our lives changed forever after our husbands suffered a brain injury. It also had a ripple effect on others in our wider family and community. We’ll be sharing our experiences to help others feel more connected, get inspiring stories from people affected by brain injury and learn more about the condition from our specialist guests. Expect honest conversations about what goes on behind closed doors: the challenges and triumphs, the good days and the not so good days. Come join us as we aim to strengthen the communities of people impacted by brain injury and empower others in a similar situation to help them feel less alone and better equipped to take on any challenges - so we can all have more of the good days.

It is now 14 months since my daughter’s traumatic brain injury. It was as bad as it gets and we had been prepared for the worst outcomes. There were many lows and not so lows during her six months in hospital. However as Joe Watts said, every brain injury is unique. She is now doing fantastically well. There are still issues to overcome but she is driving and having a phased return to work. It made me very sad to hear of the estrangement Joe had from his family. I do understand how that happens and families are complex. As my daughter is married, we are not her next of kin. It was very difficult to be on the periphery of the person you gave life to, when their life is in the balance and you are dealing with the nightmare of life changing injuries Although we have all managed to navigate a path through and our relationship is good, it has left me emotionally broken. I miss the daughter I had but I’m so grateful that she still has an opportunity to live a happy life. Joe Watts ‘ contribution to my understanding of the journey through brain injury was very helpful. Keep up the good work

A great episode. What an inspiring and moving story. Even though my life is currently unaffected I found it reassuring and motivating.

This is a wonderful podcast giving voice to something which is so often overlooked, especially for younger people. I think it will give comfort to people wherever they may be on their journey with brain injury to know there are people in the same boat, and maybe offer some inspiration hearing different perspectives. Lots of food for thought, and perhaps unexpectedly, lots to smile about. Thank you
