After being hit from behind by a tractor trailer, Faith Broussard Cade thought she came out of it unscathed. The ambulance looked her over and she was not bleeding. Although a little sore, she didn't imagine anything could be seriously wrong. But there was! In the passing days and weeks, her mobility became more restricted. She was having blurred vision. Her long and short term memory progressively got worse. Symptoms of Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury: that was what Faith Broussard Cade was experiencing. When she went to doctor after doctor explaining something was wrong, she was regularly ignored until a neurologist finally listened and diagnosed her. In this episode, Faith will discuss how she was able to take this life-altering event and create hope for not only herself but for others...one sticky note at a time.I invite you to join our conversation as Faith and I discuss:Vertigo US healthcare systemChronic InsomniaWhat is a neurologistMedical LeaveLayoffsPunk'dVulnerability TBI symptomsLetting Go of the FaçadeSelf Care for WomenWriting notesOver stimulationHonourable MentionsShare how YOU overcame a situationIt's OK to be Imperfect by Bianca Hughes, LPCPerfectionism, Being Your Authentic Self + Accepting The Uncontrollable with Bianca HughesThis Is How the American Healthcare System Is Failing Black WomenHow to navigate 'medical gaslighting' when doctors dismiss your symptomsWhat Happens If You Don’t Have Health Insurance?Depression After Traumatic Brain InjuryWhat is Self-Care and Why is it Important For You?Writing Can Help Us Heal from TraumaWhere can you find Faith?https://www.facebook.com/fleurdelisspeakshttps://www.fleurdelisspeaks.com/https://twitter.com/FdLSpeakshttps://www.instagram.com/fleurdelisspeaks/?hl=en—————This podcast is hosted by
