Ever wondered what it takes to bounce back from a serious brain injury? Dr. Joy Kong sits down with Steve White, the founder of Brae 100, to explore the realities of recovery from brain injuries and emotional collapse. Steve's journey from a professional football player to dealing with multiple concussions, seizures, and depression is nothing short of remarkable. He shares how these challenges led him to develop a structured, long-term healing approach that focuses on sustained effort, community, and purpose.
Steve emphasises the importance of being an active participant in one's own recovery, debunking the myth of quick fixes. His story is one of resilience and transformation, as he recounts his transition from cognitive decline to regaining control over his life through a mix of innovative therapies and sheer determination.

The conversation is peppered with light-hearted moments and profound reflections on the power of faith and the human spirit. Whether you're dealing with health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to heal. What drives someone to fight against the odds?
