#22 'Why My Stroke Was A Blessing' - With The NeuroNerds Co-Host Joe Borges

On A Good Day

Joe Borges tells Elizabeth and Julia how his brain injury gave him a new appreciation for life and why he believes it was a 'blessing' allowing him to have a life "reset".

The NeuroNerds co-host divulges his feelings of being lost and 'surviving' rather than living prior to having a brain injury but how he is now able to live a purposeful life.

He reveals the highs and lows following his brain injury and why mindset plays such a key role in recovery.

Joe is one half of the successful The NeuroNerds podcast and is committed to connecting with other brain injury survivors and has built a global community which he says has become his purpose in life.

He talks about the importance of connecting with other brain injury survivors and how it continues to help him in his journey.

Despite his positive outlook, Joe acknowledges he has dark days and talks about how he navigates them as well as overcoming ‘toxic positivity.’

Joe is constantly giving back and next month has organised a ground-breaking virtual event, called Brain, Body, Soul festival, raising funds for The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation (TAAF) to help support other brain injury survivors.

It will take place on December 9 in the Metaverse, visit the Brain, Body, Soul Festival website to register for free.
