1. Meet The Brains Behind Brain or Shine

Welcome to the first episode of the Brain or Shine podcast. Meet Mark and Jules, who are here to help people navigate life following a brain injury. Mark suffered a traumatic brain injury in a freak accident whilst on holiday. Despite being told over 95% don't survive this level of injury, he made an excellent physical recovery and was signed off eight weeks later. However, nothing prepared him and Jules for the non-physical side effects of sustaining an injury to your brain could have. As award winning public speakers and authors, find out how they've had to make signigicant changes to their lives in order to cope with the after effects of hidden disabilities. Their goal is to create a support mechanism and a community for people affected by any form of brain injury. Brain or Shine has resources for brain injury survivors, their families, friends, work colleagues, and employers. They will be sharing these resources in multiple different formats so you can choose the best way for you to consume the information. Unfortunately, there are many side effects to brain injuries. Some are obvious, some are not. Some might start straight away; some might creep up on you over time. In this episode, we’ll discuss three common side effects of acquired brain injuries: memory loss, slurred speech, and fatigue. These have all had significant impacts on our lives and here we’ll explain what these side effects are and how to recognise if you have them.
