What people are saying.
“This podcast has been so helpful, thank you Bella. I am a fellow Canadian nine months out from a concussion and still experience daily and often debilitating symptoms. As a 24 year old graduate student, it’s been difficult to accept my symptoms, decreased productivity, and the impacts of the concussion on my personality and life. This podcast has been so comforting and makes me feel much less alone and “crazy” in navigating my new mental landscape. Thank you so much for this podcast and for sharing your experiences.” - vfp_4
