Resilience

September 11, 2020

Per Mike and Dave Radparvar, Co-Founders of Holstee, September is a month where "we explore ways to leverage Resilience in the face of adversity, and how we can grow through the setbacks we experience in our lives.” As a member of Holstee, I receive a monthly reflection guide, art, resources and more, but most importantly an opportunity to explore deeper conversations on a one hour video chat call with other members.

While I think having a plan or something to strive towards is a good driver, being able to adapt and roll with the punches is incredibly important and perhaps not always emphasized as something that life will throw at you as you grow through the years.

With a Brain Injury, the Only Thing Certain, Is Uncertainty

July 8, 2020

Uncertainty. It’s the one thing that anyone can grab onto when struggling with a concussion. A concussion is a form of a brain injury. It may sound silly for me to state that as an obvious, but I think we hear so much about concussion that the phrase is associated only with athletes or with students and we lose sight that yes, it’s the head, but it’s the brain.
