Brain injuries from domestic violence often go unnoticed, leaving survivors to navigate hidden trauma alone. Today, we’re diving deep into the intersection of trauma, domestic violence, and brain injury. If you missed our first discussion, be sure to check it out. We're unpacking the challenges survivors face—from medical misdiagnosis to legal barriers—and what can be done to support them. Let’s get into it.

What if the crash that nearly killed you became the reason you started living with deeper purpose?

In this episode of Mind Matters: Navigating Head Injuries and Concussions, legal nurse consultant Kiley Como continues his powerful conversation with Jeff Marconette Jr, an international speaker, author, and traumatic brain injury survivor.

After surviving a life-changing traumatic brain injury (TBI) at just 17 years old, Jeff transformed his experience into a mission to help others live intentionally and make every second count.

Jeff shares what life after brain injury really looks like — from graduating high school with a walker to becoming a motivational speaker who inspires audiences worldwide. Together, we explore resilience, gratitude, mindset, and the long-term realities of living with a brain injury.

If you or someone you love is navigating life after a concussion or traumatic brain injury, this conversation offers hope, perspective, and practical insight.
