Do These Thoughts Sound Familiar To You?
Do These Thoughts Sound
Familiar To You?
“I don’t feel like myself anymore. I was confident, capable, and independent. Now, it feels like there’s a stranger hijacking my brain. This isn’t me—I feel so lost and confused!”
“I used to be sharp and quick-thinking. Now my brain feels like a static foggy mess and the pressure in my head is relentless. I’m forgetting names, dates, and even where I put my keys. Who am I if I can’t even think straight?”
“The emotional swings are the worst. One minute I’m angry over something small, and the next, I’m in tears. I used to be calm and collected, but now I’m like a ticking time bomb. I’m constantly fluctuating between anger, depression, and sadness, and it’s so damn exhausting.”
“Going back to work was supposed to be progress, but it feels like I’ve taken a step back! The bright lights, flashing computer screens, constant noise, and endless movement at work make my head spin. I feel nauseous, my head pounds and I just can’t focus. I’m making mistakes and missing deadlines. I’m terrified of losing my job and the credibility that I worked so hard for.”
“People don’t get it. They see me and think I’m OK from the outside. But inside, I’m crying for help. My colleagues and even some of my close friends see me as a slacker like I’m faking it or being dramatic. They don’t see the daily struggles, the headaches, the dizziness, the constant fight to stay balanced.”
“Despite bringing my doctor’s note to work my manager questions my symptoms because I look ‘normal’ on the outside. Every day feels like a trial, where I’m proving my struggles are real. “Just push through.” “Everyone has bad days” I hear these phrases over and over and I’m exhausted from constantly advocating for myself.
“I thought the doctors would have answers. Instead, I’m met with shrugs, prescriptions for pills, and “rest and recoup” strategies that only seem to make things worse. The waiting, the uncertainty, it’s all so maddening. I just want someone to tell me it’s going to be okay, that there’s a light at the end of this dark tunnel. But it feels like I’m just spinning my wheels, stuck in this endless loop of disappointment.”
As a fellow brain injury survivor this was exactly my mind’s voice too…
And I’m so glad I can bring you some respite and good news after everything you’ve had to go through so far.

You and Your Brain Are Still Brilliant.
It Just Functions In A NEW Way Now!
When I hit rock bottom post-concussion, I spent years desperately trying to return to my former self and my old life…
It took a lot of frantic research, disappointment, and tears to finally realize that…
My brain and I were still smart. It just functions differently now!
Instead of desperately longing for the OLD ME, I had to let go and learn to embrace the NEW ME.
And to do that… I had to understand and uncover my brain’s new way of working.
The more I learned about how my new brain works, the better I became at managing my symptoms and supporting my recovery.
It opened my eyes and showed me that my brain injury was actually the start of a new life.
And the same holds true for you.
This isn’t the end. It’s your new beginning.
Hi, I’m Kelly And
I’ve Been Where You Are…
It was the evening of June 23, 2015. I was driving to a karate class after work when a teenage driver pulled in front of me.
I ended up t-boning them but fortunately the both of us survived. Thinking I would be able to shake off the crash in a few days, I declined to be taken to the ER by ambulance and I even went back to work the next day (which I now realize was such a silly thing to do).
It wasn’t until three months later that I realized something was seriously wrong with me.
A friend of mine encouraged me to return to my third-degree black belt training. But while I was there, I struggled. Moves that once came naturally were now a challenge. I was surprised to find myself standing like a deer in the headlights, trying to remember the movements.
And when I did remember, my brain and body were out of sync. I’d try to step forward, but my foot would move back. The harder I concentrated, the worse it got. My memory would freeze up and I would get more frustrated.
Halfway through the class, I would experience shortness of breath. I was used to working out for hours, and now I found myself with a pounding headache, neck pain, and exhaustion after only two minutes of training.
On top of that, I was also dealing with horrible whiplash, mood swings, and forgetfulness. I could barely even listen to music in my car without feeling sleepy.
Despite these symptoms, I continued to push myself….because that’s just who I was.
And then it all culminated in a terrifying moment where I fell asleep at the wheel, drove off the road, and almost hit a tree.
That was my wake-up call.

Bridging The Gap...
As the sole breadwinner of my family back then, one of the first things I wanted to do after the concussion was get back to work.
I started by devouring countless books on recovery, seeking answers and guidance.
While they were helpful, I found that most of them offered only generic advice and lacked the specifics I needed to return to my job.
Perhaps you too may have found information tailored to military personnel, athletes, kids, and teenagers.
But where was the guidance for regular people like me — people who are desperate to get back to work to put food on the table, pay the bills, and take care of the people relying on them?
NONE!
Nevertheless, I Was Determined To Figure A Way Out!
You see… with a background as a neurology nurse practitioner, I had a unique vantage point.
I had a front-row seat to observe patients struggling with many of the same symptoms I experienced in my recovery. This unique perspective combined with my personal journey gave me valuable insights into the inner workings of the concussed brain.
But let me be candid – my recovery journey was far from smooth!
It took a lot of tumbles, tears, disappointment, and years of trial and error to finally develop a toolkit that I even still use today to help me be an efficient employee and maintain my focus and attention.
My mission is to help you avoid the mistakes I made so that you can continue to work, live, and laugh while you heal.
Because lemme tell you… a lot of those mistakes were in fact preventable.
That’s why I set out to create a program combining my personal experience and professional expertise to make your recovery and transition to work smoother than mine.
