This Is Gonna Hurt - The Podcast Of J. Gordon Duncan

Thanks for listening! I'm thankful to share this episode with you.  A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by Angela Rivers on her #FXBG Mission podcast https://www.facebook.com/FXBGMission.  FXBG Mission is a podcast that unites the community while raising awareness for mental health and wellness in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The vision of the podcast is to prevent the stigma and help people know that they are not alone. Angela goes in-depth with me about my seizure story, what life is like today, and she even asks me some questions that I've never considered.  I hope it is an encouragement for anyone wrestling with a brain injury or for anyone caring for someone with a brain injury.   Angela is the Resource Foster Parent Recruiter at UMFS (United Methodist Foster Services).  Learn more about them at https://www.umfs.org/get-involved/become-a-foster-parent-virginia/?fbclid=IwAR3yDKKDAxSpkv1Y9VeTP6kINIseMr6EsUlq_KWFH75rVZskEuH0fZ_nWWs Thanks so much for listening!
