    Can Babies Be in Pain When Doctors Say It’s “Normal”? | Infant Discomfort & Body Tension

    What if the pain or physical tension you’re pushing through is actually preventing your body from fully recovering? In this episode of Mind Matters: Navigating Head Injuries & Concussions, Kiley Como, Legal Nurse Consultant at Shane Smith Law, sits down with Ken Moench of Moench Method Body Works to explore pain, physical tension, and recovery—from infants who can’t tell us where they hurt to adults living with long-term physical limitations. Ken shares his experiences working with babies who appeared unusually fussy, struggled with sleep or feeding, or reacted painfully to movement—and why he believes parents should pay close attention when something doesn’t seem right. If you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone recovering from an injury, this conversation offers a different perspective on recognizing discomfort, understanding physical patterns, and knowing when it may be time to ask more questions.

    Brain Injury Survivor Trapped in House Fire: How a TBI Changed His Survival Response

    A house fire is one of the most terrifying and unpredictable emergencies anyone can experience. But what happens when the person facing that crisis is a traumatic brain injury survivor? In moments where most people think only about escape, survival, and getting to safety, a brain injury can affect how someone processes danger, priorities, and decision-making under extreme pressure. Today on Mind Matters, we're joined by Jayme Severance , a traumatic brain injury survivor who previously shared his journey of recovery after suffering a severe diffuse axonal injury. Years later, Jayme faced another life-changing event — a devastating three-alarm apartment fire. In the middle of chaos, smoke, and danger, his brain responded in ways that reveal the often misunderstood realities of living with a TBI. From rescuing his mother and searching for his cat, to the unexpected decisions he made inside a burning building, Jayme shares what happened, what he was thinking, and how his brain injury shaped his response during one of the most dangerous moments of his life.
