Have you ever felt like you were pushing so hard, that you ended up in cycles of burnout, overwhelm, and exhaustion? Life with brain injury is… a lot. But there is hope to get out of those loops of symptom cycles. Today, we’re diving into the topic of care, support, and boundaries. We also have a podcast spotlight with Dr. Jeremy Schmoe sharing the importance of boundaries and what can help your brain be in a better environment to heal.

Let’s talk about the importance of:

• learning to care for ourselves and others

• identifying our support needs and what true support feels like

• setting healthy boundaries that become guard rails for recovery

You are not alone!
