Listen Later

Hello Brave Friends! Welcome to today's story episode, #216. These are true stories from a moment in the life of a caregiving parent. We hear a crafted story, and then have a conversation with our guests that goes deeper into their experience.

In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Zoe Shaw interviews author and speaker, Kelly Lang, who shares her profound journey following a traumatic car accident that changed her and her daughter's life forever. She recounts the harrowing moments of the accident, the struggles of recovery, and the emotional challenges faced as a caregiver. Kelly discusses the importance of understanding traumatic brain injury, the role of advocacy, and how she has turned her experiences into a platform for education and support. 

Kelly Lang, co-author of The Miracle Child: Traumatic Brain Injury and Me is a brain injury survivor and caregiver to her daughter who sustained a traumatic brain injury in 2001. Kelly is an Author, Public Speaker, Communications Trainer, and Advocate. She co-leads the Brain Injury Association of America’s Advisory Council and serves on the Virginia Brain Injury Advisory Council. Kelly’s advocacy experience includes working with the National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems’ Brain Injury Learning Collaborative as a faculty member and co-chaired the Traumatic Brain Injury Leadership Group and served on the Person-Centered Advisory Group. Kelly has been the Keynote speaker at a number of state brain injury conferences and conducted workshops and webinars about brain injury and advocacy.
