As Ashley discusses in this episode and as she discussed in Episode 22 of Concussion Chats, a Monday night game of dodge ball resulted in a concussion that has transformed the way she interacts with the world. It also affects how her identical twin sister Amy and she interact. Erin and I talk to Ashley and Amy to see how life changed both of their lives.

Seriously though, rethink it! After any brain injury, mild or severe, your speech may be effected , so you therefore may need to see a speech therapist, or speech language pathologist (SLP) . However, as Kara Focht discusses in this podcast, speech is just one of the many areas where an SLP is trained to help!Check out the Rethink Speech Therapy website and Instagram!

Here are a few words from Ashley:In April of 2018, I was on vacation in Mexico for a girls/surfing trip. On the second wave of my second day I bailed when my board struck me in the head underwater. I didn’t know what happened at the time, I just know I struggled to get back onto my board and I was extremely lucky another surfer saw me and helped me out of the waves. I had no idea I had a concussion until I stepped onto the plane two days later to come back home one person and landed a completely different person. Looking back with what I know about concussions today, the signs were all there, I just wish I knew what I know now.Since then I’ve been climbing the uphill, rollercoaster battle of Post Concussion Syndrome. I share my story to create awareness to help others so they don’t have to navigate PCS in the dark like I did.Concussion Chats is a podcast hosted by the McGill Students for the Concussion Legacy Foundation, with the help of Nick from Concussion Talk.

Sylvie was on a scooter in Amsterdam in May 2017, she got into an accident, but not falling or hitting her head, she thought it was only her ankle. From originally thinking her new, strange symptoms would only last a few days, to going from The Netherlands to America for treatment and years spent looking for the important social support of a community, in the fall of 2020, three and a half years after the seemingly innocuous accident Sylvie started The Concussion Community. The Concussion Community consists of an Instagram page, a Facebook group, and a platform with live group classes by concussion experts and a private community.

Katrina.32.Athlete & Entrepreneur.Been playing competitive hockey for 25 years.No known Concussions until a severe hit from behind in hockey March 2019. Didn’t know I was concussed until 10 days later and things spiralled from there. My body shut down. Hospitalized almost a week (endless testing and bright loud environment made it worse). I had to relearn how to walk, talk. Couldn’t work or function normally for 6 months. Shared my story on social media. A friend took me to Ottawa Performance Care and after 8 months of twice a day rehab they gave me my life back. I could walk, talk and begin to live again. I’d say I’m 90% healed. I have many good days and some bad and although my life may never be the same pre concussion, I will never stop bringing awareness and continuing to live life in a slower, more calculated and present lane. Forever grateful for support from family, friends and strangers. You can heal. One day at a time. 🧠✊🏻 #concussiondiscussion”You can follow Katrina’s journey on instagram @613painting Concussion Chats is a podcast hosted by the McGill Students for the Concussion Legacy Foundation, with the help of Nick from Concussion Talk.

This podcast and even meeting Blair took longer than was expected when we first connected in January 2020. You know, back when it was easy to meet. We were going to meet at my favourite local restaurant, Quintanas, but then there was a huge snowstorm that shut down the city. About six weeks later the world ground to a halt. Finally, we meet up - via Zoom - to talk about Blair's concussions while in the Canadian Army, his symptoms, how physiotherapy and exercise have helped, his triathlon aspirations, and his exciting upcoming challenge; his journey to becoming a physiotherapist!You can find Blair on Instagram @blair.matthw
