    Reclaiming Identity After Brain Injury: Shawnee Harkins & The Harkins Method™

    After surviving multiple brain injuries at ages 18, 20, and 24, Shawnee Harkins turned her own recovery into a breakthrough approach for healing the brain. In this episode, Shawnee shares how her lived experience led to the creation of The Harkins Method™, a personalized, drug-free neuro-fitness protocol designed to accelerate recovery from a wide array of brain injuries, from concussion to TBI to stroke. Through adaptive, neuroplasticity-driven cognitive and physical training, The Harkins Method™ helps survivors improve memory, communication, speech, and executive functioning—while rebuilding confidence and identity. Join us as Shawnee reframes the traditional patient care journey and empowers brain injury survivors to reset their mind, brain, and body to pursue a more fulfilling life.

    Olympic Bobsledder to CTE Advocate

    Imagine traveling down a sheet of ice at 90mph when your bobsled flips over and you slam your head into the ice wall. Meet William Person, 9 year member of the US Olympic bobsledding team. Join us as he shares his journey from college track and field, mental health advocate, member of the US Olympic bobsledding team to brain injury survivor and advocate. He saw first hand how untreated brain injuries devastate not only athletes but also military veterans and their families. William spent years in agony due to his repeated concussions. He only found relief when he began Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. His message is simple, “If your loved one is doing something that’s out of the norm, get them checked out!” Individuals with CTEs do not see how their behavior impacts those around them. Loved ones do.  Guest Social Media Info -  https://www.instagram.com/willp1234567?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr# https://www.facebook.com/william.person.792233/  https://www.facebook.com/one.man.with.a.chamber.hbot  Send us a text Support the show You can find this episode’s transcript here.

    bindwaves S7E1 -The Power of the Vagus Nerve

    Injuries to the brain can impact our lives in so many different ways. Meet Dr. Collin Cooper, an Occupational Therapist specializing in stroke and brain injuries as well as hand therapy for PAM Health in Allen, TX. Learn how Dr. Cooper utilizes vagus nerve stimulation along with traditional and hand therapies to help ischemic stroke survivors improve their upper limb function. By implanting a small generator, specifically Vivistim, in the left chest and attaching a lead to the vagus nerve in the neck, stroke survivors learn how to regain arm function. Dr. Cooper walks you through the vagus nerve’s functionality and how, over time, these advanced treatments help remap the brain and thereby improve a stroke survivor’s overall quality of life.#PAMHEALTH Guest Social Media Info - PAM Rehabilitation Hospital of Allen Send us a text Support the show You can find this episode’s transcript here.

    Tanika Connesero is a brain injury survivor and health care coach whose personal journey emboldened her to assist family members. Multiple people in her family had TBIs and her mother had a stroke. We all have experienced those life challenges where our children get injured in sporting events or just falling in the shower.

Listen in as you hear her share her story, how nutrition plays a critical role in recovery, and why you should never give up because you are a walking miracle.

    S6E19 - Time to Hit the Road?

    So you survived your brain injury. You’ve completed both in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation and are ready to get on with your life. In other words, it is time to start getting your independence back, dust off those car keys and hit the road with your favorite tunes playing in the background. But then reality hits: how do I do that and what are the liability concerns? Brandon Higgs of  H & T Driver Rehabilitation Specialist LLC walks us through the process of how to get back on the road safely. Join us as he eloquently discusses how to align your Doctor, the Texas Medical Advisory Board, and the Texas Department of Public Safety to not only get you back driving but also how to protect yourself from any liability risks in the event an accident occurs.   Guest Social Media info - https://www.facebook.com/htdriverrehab/ https://www.instagram.com/htdriverrehab/# Send us a text Support the show You can find this episode’s transcript here.

    From Trauma to Triumph. A TBI Survivor's journey out of darkness.

    Nine years ago Cody Ridenour was hiking alone in the hills outside of San Diego, CA when he fell off a 5-story cliff onto the beach.  His injuries were so significant (a fractured skull, broken back, broken wrist, partial left side paralysis) that he was required to be airlifted to a trauma center. Join us on this astonishing tale of recovery, which includes his book “5 Stories Down, Sometimes You Must Fall To Rise” which memorializes this amazing journey. Many of us can relate to this traumatic experience all too well. Listen in as he shares this inspirational story of Faith and the importance of surrounding yourself with a strong support system as he traverses this road of recovery.
