Summary

Changes are happening for The NeuroNerds!  Our host, Joe and producer, Felice, have moved into a new creative living space with new recordings studios for our podcast!  While change is a great thing, there are always challenges when adjusting to new routines and environments, but this is especially challenging for brain injury survivors.  Joe and Lauren discuss managing and coping with changes plus Lauren shares an anxiety episode she recently faced due to her TBI.  And thank you all for baring with our delayed episodes due to our move!  What are some changes (good or bad) you’ve been facing lately and how are you dealing with them? Let us know in the comments on our socials!
