We Need To Talk - My story: From Broken to Rebuilding Myself

What does “resilience” really mean? For years, I thought it meant “pushing through.” Then a traumatic brain injury (TBI) shattered my old self—and taught me that true strength is found in grace, not grit.This is my story of:

Losing my voice literally: I called Portobello ("mushrooms-goblin-pasta”).
Almost missing my son’s birthday… and the hug that saved me.
Rebelling against doctors who said I’d “never recover past 70%.”
Flying to India broken—and finding peace in breath-work, yoga, and silence.
Learning that healing isn’t linear—it’s a dance between being ashes and a phoenix.
