Hi, I’m Cristabelle Braden, and this is my brain injury podcast Hope Survives. Here we share hope, support, and education for brain injury survivors, caregivers, and families. As a survivor of traumatic brain injury and multiple concussions, I know what it’s like to struggle to find hope. I don’t want anyone to feel as alone as I did, and that’s why I started my online community called Hope After Head Injury. This podcast is an extension of that, and I’d love to invite you to join along as we explore the realities of life with brain injury, with messages of encouragement, interviews with doctors and professionals, and survivor stories. Thanks for listening, and be sure to subscribe and stay tuned for more. No matter where you’re at on your journey... there is always hope!

After suffering a traumatic brain injury, she began to write music. Since then, she has surpassed medical expectations and thrived in her newfound gift of music; she has come from re-learning daily life tasks in brain injury rehabilitation to setting her feet firmly on the ground as a songwriter, speaker, and artist with a message of hope. Releasing multiple albums of original music and touring all over the United States, she brings her powerful testimony and a message of freedom, healing, and love wherever she goes. Cristabelle has continually persevered through the daily challenges that come with living with a brain injury, and through her setbacks, re-injuries, and struggles, discovered a stronger and clearer voice and message. She is a sought after speaker, both in brain injury and Christian ministry events. She is also a graduate-level Biblical scholar, currently working on a Masters in Theological Studies. In 2020 she launched an inspirational and uplifting podcast called Declaration Life. Her journey has inspired her to become a passionate advocate for brain injury, lobbying on a statewide and national level with the Brain Injury Association of America, as well as personally working hard to provide support and encouragement to brain injury survivors and their families through her online community Hope Survives.
