How Do You Rebuild Your Life After a Concussion Turns Everything Upside Down?

Imagine waking up in a hospital, confused, unable to remember most of your life, and realizing everything has changed. For many concussion survivors, the struggle isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply tied to identity. Are you unintentionally holding onto your old self, making recovery even harder?

The truth is, healing from a concussion isn’t just about rest—it’s about rebuilding your life, your habits, and even your sense of self. If you're stuck trying to force your way back into the life you had before your injury, you might be missing the key to real progress.

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

  • How a concussion can completely shift your identity—and why that’s not necessarily a bad thing

  • The importance of intentional recovery and why energy management is your new superpower

  • The crucial mindset shifts that make all the difference in post-concussion healing

  • Why putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary for your long-term health and happiness

Jessica Ciampini’s journey from athlete and high-achiever to concussion survivor and psychologist is nothing short of inspiring. Her story will remind you that healing isn’t just about getting back to where you were—it’s about evolving into who you’re meant to be next.
