Trigger Warning: Mention of Suicidal Thoughts

Ever thought how a traumatic experience, like a severe concussion, can alter someone's life path completely? We explore this notion through the captivating story of our guest, Michael Lashomb - a musician and concussion survivor.

The invisible impact of a concussion is often underestimated, affecting not just the physical but also the mental and emotional aspects of a person's life. Listen closely as Michael reveals the challenges he faced post-concussion.  We delve into his struggle with depression, the lack of access to crucial therapies, and how he had to reframe his reality around his condition.

In a surprising twist, the conversation takes a spiritual turn, unearthing a powerful transformation in Michael, brought on by his concussion. From grappling with darkness to discovering inner peace through mindfulness, meditation and music, Michael's journey is nothing short of inspiring. We conclude this episode reflecting on how brain injuries can lead to personal growth, even through the darkest of times.
