“One of the most exciting things about this journey is I’ve learned how to train my mind the same way I’ve trained my body... understanding how you can build different neural pathways just like you build strength in your muscles.”
— Rebecca Rusch on learning how to rewire her brain during recovery for the Stand Up, Stand Out, Change Lives Podcast
I recently recorded an episode of Whitney McDuff's podcast, Stand Up, Stand Out Changes Lives, where I opened up about a deeply personal journey I’ve been on for the past couple of years. Following a bike crash, what I initially thought was a minor injury turned into a long, difficult battle with an undiagnosed concussion. In this episode, I talk about the physical and emotional challenges I faced—everything from constant headaches and depression to the fear of losing my ability to perform and work. I also shared how therapy, mindfulness practices, and even psychedelic-assisted therapy played pivotal roles in my recovery.
Whitney and I dive into the importance of vulnerability, mental health, and how this experience has been another chapter in my lifelong journey of self-discovery, much like my expedition in Blood Road.
This is a really important conversation about invisible injuries and mental health, and I hope it can offer support to others who may be struggling.
