69 // "The Dr Told Me I'd Never Be 100%" - The Car Accident That Changed Everything - Cobie Higgins On Learning To Walk Again, Navigating A Traumatic Brain Injury & Why Self Care Is So Important

Listen Later

In this deeply inspiring episode, I sit down with the beautiful and resilient Cobie, whose story is a powerful reminder of how much we’re capable of, even when life turns completely upside down.

After a devastating car accident in 2015 that left her with multiple broken bones and a traumatic brain injury, Cobie’s journey to recovery has been nothing short of extraordinary. From learning to walk again to rebuilding her sense of self, she shares with raw honesty and positivity what it takes to heal both physically and emotionally.


✨ In this episode, we dive into:

  • Cobie’s powerful story of survival and recovery after her accident
  • The moment her doctor told her she’d “never be 100%”, and how she proved them wrong (& not only learnt to walk, but can RUN!!!)
  • What it’s really like living with an invisible injury and the power of taking “brain breaks”
  • How she healed her brain and body through rest, presence, surrender and deep self-care
  • The greatest gifts this experience gave her, and how she now helps others through her work
  • Her 4-step method for moving through any hardship with grace and grit
  • The message she’d send to her pre-accident self
  • The importance of daily self-care and finding gratitude, even in the hardest seasons

This conversation is an incredible reminder that no matter how dark things get, healing and happiness are always possible. 🌞
