Brain Health & Healing: Receiving Adversity's Gifts

Welcome to Brain Health & Healing: Receiving Adversity’s Gifts, the podcast for people living with the effects of brain injuries and anyone navigating the aftermath of adversity. Hosted by Sandra Lee, a massage therapist and intuitive sound healing practitioner with 39 years of experience, this show explores what your brain and body may be trying to tell you and what becomes possible when you listen. Through The Witnessed Body™, Sandra combines decades of bodywork with Combat Brain Training, the only neuroplasticity program vetted by U.S. Special Operations Command, along with intuitive sound healing, NLP, and Human Design. Sandra believes symptoms are messages, the brain continues to heal throughout your life, and what you have been through may be guiding you toward something you could not have discovered any other way. Each week, you will hear real conversations, personal stories, intuitive insights, and a different perspective on brain health, emotional regulation, identity, purpose, and claiming the life your experiences may have been preparing you for. This podcast is for you if you or someone you love is living with the effects of a brain injury, concussion, stroke, or another life-changing adversity. You may have tried different treatments, followed protocols, and done everything right, yet still feel as though nothing is changing. Eventually, the hardest part may no longer be the symptoms. It may be the belief that nothing will change. That is exactly where this show begins. It is also for high performers, entrepreneurs, athletes, and caregivers who know there is more available and are ready to discover what comes next. Subscribe and begin moving from surviving your circumstances toward claiming the healing, life, and purpose still waiting for you.
