How A Mild Concussion Quietly Hijacks Your Life

from Soma Rising · host Tabitha MacDonald

Send us Fan MailWhen your life starts slipping sideways, it is easy to blame your mindset, your trauma, your hormones, your ADHD, or your willpower. I tell a story that changed how I see all of that: I fell, hit my head, told myself I was fine, and kept going until my behavior started telling the truth for me. What followed was months of dizziness, brain fog, avoidance, mood changes, impulsive spending, and a creeping belief that I was “broken” even though I’ve spent years studying healing and self-coaching.We get painfully specific about mild traumatic brain injury and post-concussion symptoms, including how executive dysfunction can hide in plain sight. I walk through the symptom list that can look like burnout, depression, anxiety, empty nest grief, or perimenopause and explain why the brain can’t always connect the dots after an impact. We also talk about the coaching and wellness trap of trying to “think your way” out of physiology, and why positive thinking supports healing but cannot override brain science.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a single mom or caregiver who needs validation, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.This is Soma Rising: Conversations for a Conscious Future —where health, wealth, love, and purpose flow together on the Golden Path of alignment.  Learn more at somatribe.org Continue Your JourneyIf this episode touched your heart, please share it with someone you love and help awaken others to the Golden Path.Website: soma-massage.netInstagram: @somawellness.center or @tabitharmacdonaldTikTok: @tabitharmacdonaldYouTube: @tabitharmacdonald✨ Ready to take this work deeper?If today’s episode spoke to your soul and you’re ready to rise into a life aligned with your truth, I’d love to invite you into Soma Tribe—my signature transformational journey for people who are done playing small and ready to reclaim their power, purpose, and intuitive knowing.✨ Learn more and sign up online.Tabitha MacDonald is an Intuitive Coach and Bodyworker committed to helping people overcome pain fast so they can experience the love, success, freedom, and fulfillment they deserve.Additional Resources:💻 Book a Free Consultation: Schedule now💻 Save $200 on an Introductory Soma Rewire Session.  Book Now🌀 Soma Flow Library of Healing (Free Trial!)🌀Try Soma Tribe for $1!  Get started on your healing journey today.📺 YouTube: Tabitha MacDonald Channel📸 Instagram: @tabitharmacdonald

I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
