EP 65: Resilience After Concussion Lina Aristizabal's Journey


Listen Later

Are you feeling stuck on your healing journey, longing for a sense of "normal" that seems forever out of reach?

It's all too easy to let frustration take over when recovery feels slow, and anger often fills the space where acceptance could be. Many people get trapped, waiting for life to return to the way it was before their injury – a pattern that keeps you in a holding pattern, waiting to feel better. What if there's a way to start moving forward, even without "getting back" to who you were before?

Today, I'm joined by Lina Maria Aristizabal, a wellbeing coach and resilience educator, dedicated to helping individuals thrive after adversity. After suffering a concussion in 2018, she turned to science-based wellbeing strategies to rebuild her own joy and purpose. She holds degrees from Buffalo State University of New York, the University of Toronto, and Nipissing University, alongside certifications in applied positive psychology, resilience training, and coaching. As co-founder of Revive and Thrive Wellbeing, Lina creates programs that help individuals flourish despite health challenges.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • The power of acceptance in your healing process and why it doesn't mean "giving up"

  • Lina's journey from resistance to peace and how she finally started moving forward

  • Key practices from wellbeing science that can bring more joy and purpose into your life today

  • Practical steps you can use to take control of your emotional state, even when symptoms linger

Get ready to be inspired by Lina's story and the practical wisdom she shares. This conversation could be the shift you need to finally start living fully, even as you continue your healing journey.
