90. Be Your Own Hero with Caroline Rakus-Wojciechowski - Mental Health, Careers, & Concussion

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

Normalizing concussion experiences can help minimize the feeling of being alone for other survivors. Our guest today is Caroline Rakus-Wojciechowski. Caroline is a passionate young professional and global citizen in the field of international education and international development. She is a champion for Global Youth Empowerment and well-being and has represented several organizations as a youth ambassador over the years.
Caroline suffered her first concussion in the midst of training for her first half marathon, working a full-time job and attending her classes part-time. Throughout her post-concussion journey, she built better habits and practices that will influence her long-term success. Join in on our discussion as we talk about Caroline’s concussion experience, why it’s important to extend grace to yourself in your healing journey, and how concussions impact our mental health. She leaves listeners with important takeaways and encouragements. Don’t miss out, so tune in today!
