88. Resilient Roots - Staying Grounded through TBI (with Cazoshay Marie)
How do we stay rooted after brain injury, when life feels so chaotic? Let’s talk about it!Today, Cristabelle interviews Cazoshay Marie, a TBI survivor and advocate with roles as a member of the Brain Injury Association of America’s Advisory Council and as a Traumatic Brain Injury Ambassador for the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center. In this conversation, we explore themes of resilience, advocacy, and the importance of support systems, particularly for parents navigating the challenges of brain injury. We talk through the non-linear nature of recovery, the significance of finding personal roots, and the necessity of self-compassion in the healing journey.0:00 Intro with Cristabelle10:30 Introducing Cazoshay13:00 Invisible Injury17:55 Non-Linear Path of Recovery24:15 Journey of Acceptance26:25 Resilient Roots Support Group30:50 Finding Roots & Staying Grounded35:50 Words of HopeConnect with Cazoshay: IG- cazoshay_mariehttps://www.didwithcazoshay.com/CONNECTFind more resources, podcast episodes, & our monthly zoom support group: hopesurvives.org | @hopesurvivesHosted by Cristabelle Braden: @cristabellebraden | cristabellebraden.comListen to the intro song "Hope Survives" by Cristabelle Braden on all music streaming platforms!This podcast is for education and informational purposes only, and not intended for medical advice.
