Another Fork in the Road: Caregiver, Drew Niemann & Survivor, Terry Niemann

Terry Niemann has had three brain injuries. Her husband, Drew Niemann, is not only her spouse and friend, but he's also her caregiver. Drew and Terry join together in their podcast, "A Battle Within" to raise awareness of brain injury. I was a guest on their show on October 12, 2020.

Life is all about choices! To learn more about me, please visit my blog and website.
