Inspirational Tales

My guest on this episode is Lauren Spear from The Orange Butterfly.In 2018, Lauren fell at work and hit her head, which resulted in her injuring her brain. Lauren's condition proved to be difficult to diagnose but with persistence and help from her GP and a specialist, she was diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome. Lauren has undergone extensive rehabilitation over the past few years and has come a long way since her accident. In this interview, Lauren discusses her injury and how it has affected her life. She explains why she started her blog 'The Orange Butterfly' and also the work that she is now doing within the community, to raise awareness for concussion and brain injuries. I hope that this interview gives you a greater understanding of what it is like to live with a brain injury and I thank Lauren for being so open and honest in sharing her story.
