13 - AJ - "Finding My Sparkle"

Episode 13 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with AJ who has been living with Post Concussion Syndrome for over 3 years, following a brain injury in 2018. Similar to many suffering with Long Covid, AJ lived a very full and active life until her accident when everything changed in a moment. Since then, she has had to adjust her expectations and the way she approaches everything as well as coping with many varying and unpredictable symptoms. In this episode we talk about some of the ways that she has learned to manage her symptoms (some of which are surprisingly similar to Long Covid), strategies she has used to help as well as how she has mentally managed to be so tough and remain positive. AJ is so inspiring to all of us and hopefully some of what she talks about might be helpful to you as well.Useful links:Website: https://findingmysparkle.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/findingmysparkleajYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/findingmysparkleInsight Timer app: https://insighttimer.com/en-gbI especially like listening to Bethany Auriel-Hagan as she has a really soothing voice. https://insighttimer.com/crystaltreeroad~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.
