Interview with anthology author Stacia Bissell contributing the chapter titled "Breaking the Glass Box" to Volume II Deserts to Mountaintops: Choosing Our Healing Through Radical Self-Acceptance.
Stacia Bissell, M.Ed., is a brain injury coach, educator, public speaker and survivor specializing in helping others find personal and professional growth after brain injury. Stacia spent much of her career as a secondary math teacher until taking on roles in school administration and academic coaching. In 2011, she became a licensed middle and high school principal with aspirations of running her own school, but a bicycle accident that same year left her with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and her career as a public school educator came to an end.
Stacia began focusing her attention on helping the brain injury community after building her own ladder and climbing up from the depths of her injury. She has been a keynote speaker at a number of conferences and events, written about her post TBI journey in Brain Injury HOPE Magazine, and has been a guest on the Mind Your Brain podcast. She serves on advisory councils for the Brain Injury Association of America and the Brain Injury Alliance of Vermont, was co-founder of the Northampton, Massachusetts brain injury support group, and is a Program Leader for LoveYourBrain. As an established coach and mentor to other survivors and caregivers, Stacia brings understanding, hope, and ideas for forward movement to each customized session.
Stacia is a native of Berkshire County in Western Massachusetts where she enjoys kayaking, camping, and hiking in the woods. She has three grown children and two grandchildren who bring her laughter and great joy. You can learn more about Stacia at www.TBImentor.com or @tbi.mentor on Instagram.
