In 2004, Janet Sutherland-Madden suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm that left her blind and paralyzed. She has now fully recovered and has turned her health trauma into a career by lobbying and fundraising for the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. Sutherland is a former Chicago radio reporter where she was heard covering many landmark stories. Janet has worked in marketing in cable television and has syndicated national radio shows and news networks including CNN, CBS and Fox.

Her new book Nose Over Toes, tells the story her recovery and includes research from The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. One in 50 people currently have a brain aneurysm and do not know it. Sutherland miraculously recovered and felt her story would save lives and provide hope to survivors. For More See: noseovertoes.com

Join Kim and Co-Host Simon Lewis as they discuss gratitude. Has the Attitude of Gratitude had a societal shift toward an attitude of entitlement? As we gather to give Thanks at this time, we focus only on the blessings, rather than the shortcomings of our individual life circumstances.

John Krotec is an entrepreneur, writer, and army veteran. After college John went to work in corporate America and realized that despite doing well in the job, he wanted something more. He joined the army later in life with the purpose of being able to make money to go to law school. The army taught him discipline and how to value himself. After serving for three years he left the army and returned to civilian life. It was then that he got reacquainted with his future wife, helping her raise a family. Together they also successfully ran a business for 23 years leading international guided tours.

In 2012 John hit rock bottom and survived a traumatic brain injury. This unleashed his demons and forced him to cope with the trauma he experiences at a young-age. Over this time, he almost lost his marriage and family. With months of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Hemp-Based Pharmaceutical treatment, he developed his own healing system by using creative pursuits for coping with trauma and saving his marriage in the process. In 2016 he founded Greenzone Hero, Tan online community that honors freedom to improve business. See: greenzonehero.com

Kim and Co-Host Caren Robinson Discuss Resources and Support for the Brain Injury Community – Where do we find these things. The merit of doing so, as well as the challenges can be daunting.

Andrew Marr is a Special Forces Green Beret, Co-Founder and CEO of Warrior Angels Foundation, and author of TALES FROM THE BLAST FACTORY: A Brain Injured Special Forces Green Beret’s Journey Back From The Brink. Andrew is married to Becky, the love of his life, together they have five children.

Missions/objectives of high importance must be pursued no matter the probability of success, and without fear of failure. Our mission is of high importance. We will succeed

Marr wasn’t impressed with the current state of Veterans’ Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD patient care. So… instead of waiting for someone else to change it, he decided to act! He sought out to find an alternative way to provide world class care to Veterans affected by TBI and PTSD. The Warrior Angels Foundation along with Dr. Mark L. Gordon have done it! See: www.waftbi.org

Tis the season of change, both literally and figuratively. For many of us, the last blast of the beautiful vibrant colors of the landscape, or adjusting to it getting darker earlier. For many, it is the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder. This time of year evokes many things. One might be examining the change in ourselves after brain injury. Call in and join me.

Co-Host Simon Lewis and Kim Justus discuss Halloween, which may not be the only time we survivors wear “masks!” Change happens this time of year, that can facilitate a bit of unrest too. Breaking it down. 🙂

Did a fun Interview on the other side of the Mic last night! Wonderful poetry/writers podcast – A Team of Voices – Where friend Hatter invited me to be his feature guest! Great group & a nice chance to promote our show & raise Brain Injury Awareness … And to talk about my new book coming soon 🙂

Join Kim for Discussion, Open Mic and some Indie Music! Special Friends Pitching in! Maybe you?

This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life’s terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. This is a “we” recovery program, because it is in the “we,” that we find the new “me.”

We focus on the four A’s of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor’s striving to become thrivers – which takes a huge Warrior spirit!

Front part of show is a featured guest. The second is Open Mic and some great Indy Music sure to inspire! Host is Kim Justus, author of In a Flash: Miracles Here and Beyond found at inaflash.org & “Like” at facebook.com/inaflash.org … COMING SOON – HOOTIE’S HOLLOW and the Magic Tree 🙂
