Education EN ↓ 32 episodes

More Than A Mind is a restoration ecosystem exploring life after traumatic brain injury through storytelling, practical tools, and intentional rebuilding. What began as a podcast has grown into a collection of reflections, restoration practices, and companion resources designed to support the often invisible work of healing. Whether you are a survivor, caregiver, or someone navigating a season of rebuilding, you are invited to slow down, listen closely, and discover that restoration is not always about returning to who you were—but learning how to move forward with what remains.
