Author, brain injury survivor Anessa Arehart

When Author Anessa Arehart was faced with a traumatic brain injury, She found peace and healing through her walks with nature and finding her own quiet place to heal and reflect. Her short-term memory was an unwanted friend who robbed her of those special moments in nature. Using her camera, she would capture her walks in digital photography to relive later. You will see that Anessa has a great personality and such a welcoming spirit. This is part one of our two-part Series with her. If you would like to get her book entitled finding everyday magic, a journey of hope and healing through nature. Visit: https://innerpeacepress.com/products/finding-everyday-magic

Perfect resource for Dementia, Alzheimer’s or any patient with a neurological issue.

Barb shares with us the inspiration behind her book This is my name, and I want to write it down before I forget it. This book is one where you become the author. It provides a detailed road map that will assist caregivers to help you when you can no longer remember things, even as specific as how your morning routines go. I encourage you to listen to this podcast, this is not something that is specific to any one person. This is a great thing to fill out even if you don't have a brain injury. God forbid any of us deal with such issues as brain injuries, stroke, Alzheimer's or Dementia. But it is so comforting to know should the day come you need it, it's ready at your fingertips.

Hurricane Helene Survivor Keith “Krusher” and Stroke Survivor

Keith or as his friends call him “Krusher” was in the path of Hurricane Helene.  Unable to do any of the clean up because his stroke has left him incapable of doing any of it himself.  Months later he is still in need of having someone come to remove uprooted trees from his yard.  He also has trees that could fall on his home at any time.  Krusher would appreciate any financial assistance, or if you live near him and know how to operate a chain saw.  He could use your help in getting his property back in order as well as making his home a safe place by removing the trees that could take his home with the next strong wind.

Survivor Turned Educator

Dawn Corbelli is no stranger to life rewired; Dawn was one of our earliest interviews when we started the podcast.  Today we had her back to catch up as well as talk about the wonderful things she is doing to help spread brain injury awareness.  Dawn and her daughter Veronica were both in a near fatal auto accident. They have taken all the knowledge they have obtained about brain injuries as well as life experience to local schools to teach students about the long-lasting effects of brain injuries. 

We shared a few clips of Dawn and Veronica teaching in the public schools, and we also shared a few laughs along the way. I also want to mention that Dawn is an author herself.  Dawn is the person who on our first meeting encouraged me to begin writing my book.  If you are interested in purchasing a copy of her book, it can be purchased almost anywhere books are sold.  Look for “A miracle a day, one day at a time” by Dawn Corbelli.
