In this special anniversary episode of Real Lives of TBI Wives, Erika Brouillette shares an intimate look at life with her husband, Shelby, after his traumatic brain injury. Celebrating 13 years of marriage in a season that looks very different from their past traditions, Erika reflects on the challenges of honoring special days while navigating life as a TBI caregiver, and the intentional steps she’s taking to create meaningful celebrations for her family.
Erika also highlights the exciting milestones they’ve reached this season: Shelby’s progress in therapy, his new Xbox controller, the joy of tasting bites of wonton soup again, and the incredible moment at the Pikes Peak Challenge where Shelby walked across the finish line with her support. She shares how she’s finding balance, connecting with her soul through nature and friendships, and embracing the small victories that radiate hope and resilience.
Join Erika as she reflects on love, family, caregiving, and the power of celebrating even the smallest wins in the face of life-altering challenges.
