Listen Later

Thea James is an absolutely delightful human being whose experiences with multiple concussions have given her perspective, understanding, and wisdom beyond her years. After her 4th concussion as an adult, she left her career in agriculture to pursue a master’s in Speech Language Pathology. She also does content creation and brain injury advocacy, and is based in New Zealand. In this interview, she shares her experiences with aphasia and other post-concussion symptoms with humor and grace, offers a beautiful perspective full of compassion for self and others, and suggests tools that have helped in her recovery process. Enjoy this conversation!

Thea mentioned a hearing protection that she finds particularly helpful: Flare Audio (Calmer Pro) https://www.flareaudio.com/en-us/collections/calmer/products/calmer-pro
