WTF

THIS WEEK:  TBI LOVE? Most of us with Brain Injuries have noticed a difference in not only how we see things but also how we're responding to things previously (i.e. before our TBI) defined as 'acceptable'. Empathy, like Love is a conditioned emotional response most Humans develop. However, for those of us with TBI's, most tend to view us as 'unempathetic' and lack the ability to display a 'proper emotional response', forgetting the fact we have a BRAIN INJURY. So, like most humans, we become a product of our environments regardless of what we profess to 'know'. Tune in to discover Kevin's TOP 10 WAYS TO FALL IN LOVE and Five Things Every TBI THRIVER needs to know about THRIVING! Tune in this week to add another perspective to your daily repertoire.  If there is something in particular you would like to hear Kevin discuss, join us on Fridays and share in the chat room with the "Marvelous Maggie" (Kevin's 24/7 Partner and Professional Care Assistant)

THIS WEEK:  "One Moment in Sochi?" In 1988 Whitney Houston recorded the song "One Moment In Time" for the Olympics.The track is an anthem for believing in yourself against all odds as Houston asks for "One moment in time/when I'm racing with destiny/Then, in that one moment of time, I will feel eternity". As TBI THRIVERS each moment we have can be THAT "MOMENT", but how?  While most of us with Brain Injuries 'appear' to be 'normal', we know just like the Athletes and Journalist in Sochi Russia have discovered, NOT EVERYTHING IS AT IT SEEMS. Join Kevin as he reveals some personal 'moments' that he has not only won, but will inspire you to discover your own 'feeling' of Eternity...  Tune in this week to add another perspective to your daily repertoire in creating a more FUNctional LIFE with a Traumatic Brain Injury and/or PTSD. If there is something in particular you would like to hear Kevin discuss, join us on Fridays and share in the chat room with the "Marvelous Maggie" (Kevin's 24/7 Partner and Professional Care Assistant)

THIS WEEK:  "TBI 12th woMAN?" With the presence of the Seattle Seahawks at the Super Bowl this year, one more player will be present too; The "12th Man". The "12th Man", in football, refers to the 11 players on the field plus (the 12th) of "Fans", in their efforts to distract and/or disorientate the opponent with cheers and exuberant displays of celebration for their respective teams. As TBI THRIVERS, did you know we have the same thing? It's true, Derrick Coleman is NFL's first Deaf (since 3yrs old) Player, not only plays for the Seahawks, but is going to the Super Bowl in his first season playing. Join us tonight as the Marvelous Maggie (who was born deaf), Kevin's Caregiver, has become his, "12th woMAN" and gain a new perspective on the gifts we already have of our own "12th Man".

THIS WEEK:  FREEDOM vs LIBERTY The US Constitution was created to establish America's Soverignty and FREEDOM from England. However, few are aware of another "Constitution" that a few select people are subjected to called, The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). While those who've fulfilled their commitment to the Armed Services (or been released/ discharged) are no longer subjected to the UCMJ, many will continue to reflect the same , if not higher standards, long after they've been released. But 'why'? TBI Survivors are losing their FREEDOMS, aka having their "Universal Human Rights", violated by the Judicial System, for no other reason than out of Arrogant IGNORANCE ('AI'). US Legislature is currently drafting bills to restrict and limit the "BILL of RIGHTS", the Founding Fathers established 238yrs ago, to anyone with Mental Health 'issues', to include but not limited to; Traumatic Brain Injuries. But WHY?

With more and more people being diagnosed each day with a Brain Injury as a result of trauma, unemployment is on the rise. It was Ortega Y Gasset who defined "Genius", as the ability to invent ones occupation. As the World's first OFFICIAL TBI THRIVER, Kevin dares to share his insight and experiences to inspire others with Brain Injuries to create a More FUNctional LIFE using a unique perspective with "WTF?". THIS WEEK: Nurture VS NATURE In 2005, a little over 24 months after Kevin had been medically reitred, he had been nutured (aka 'prescribed) to consume five different pharmaceutical drugs for daily (if not hourly) use just to 'get-through-the-day'. Drugs to help dispell the pain from the injuries sustained, to digestive issues and arthritic effects of surgeries. It wasn't until the Mental Health Professionals began suggesting (aka wanting to prescribe) two more pharmaceuticals (Zoloft & Prozac) to be added to the cocktails of SCHEDULE I drugs already being consumed each day, before Kevin discovered a NATURAL solution. Since 1937, as a direct result of folks like Harry J. Anslinger and his associates' ignorance (just Google his name), one of Nature's best medicines has been outlawed for over 75 years and millions have endured the ignornace of the Legal Practice/System mankind has created. Despite the IGNORANCE of the two States in the Union that recently legalized Cannabis for recreational use, Kevin will speak from first hand experience of using Natures medicine and the results he's produced to include but not limited to ease of cultivation.
