Gabriella Rebranded | Healing After Trauma, Spiritual Growth, Brain Injury Recovery & Dark Humor
What happens when you survive the unthinkable: a 3.5-week coma, brain surgery, and 15 broken bones, and wake up to a whole new purpose? Gabriella Rebranded is a podcast about healing after trauma, spiritual growth, brain injury recovery, and dark humor. After being struck by a car and nearly losing my life, I discovered a way of living rooted in resilience, spirituality, and laughter. Each episode dives into what it really means to rebuild after trauma, connect with the Universe, and find joy in unexpected places. With honest conversations and plenty of humor, I’ll help you harness positive energy, embrace your identity, and rebrand your life — even after the unthinkable. All with a wink and a giggle. ✨ Welcome to Gabriella Rebranded.

exercise, neuroplasticity, neurotransmitters, neuroscience
Plot twist: exercise changes your brain perhaps even more than it does your body!
To close out the season, I’m breaking down the actual neuroscience behind why movement helps mood, motivation, focus, recovery, brain fog, stress, and mental health—and how I experienced it rebuilding my life after being my accident - surgeries & come &...

healthy boundaries, medical trauma, invisible disability
A long recovery can change far more than your physical body—it can completely alter how safe you feel in relationships, and suddenly something as simple as saying “no” can feel threatening.
I’m joined by Jessica Miller of Mind Your Boundaries to get very practical about what it actually looks like to set boundaries after medical trauma—especially ...

trauma-informed care, recovery, boundaries, emotional healing
“Just get over it” sounds like typical advice from the outside, but to someone living through trauma, it sounds dismissive and cheapens their experience.
Let's unpack why that mindset fails—and what survivors actually need: patience, consent, compassion, and support that doesn’t turn into an interrogation or Barbara Walters interview (hav...

Trauma can erase the version of you that felt familiar. Then, you’re left figuring out who tf you are now. And that figuring out period, girrrrlllllll......

Patient/Female Advocacy & Agency, Cervical Cancer, Double Mastectomy, Uterus & Ovary Removal
They can take your organs, but they don’t get to take your identity...and they can give you back your organs if you relentlessly remind them.
Time for a brief exhale. Same story, same reality—but this time we giggle. Alissa & I are still talking cervical cancer & BRCA2, but now it’s about what hap...

Patient advocacy amidst a double mastectomy, ovary & uterus removal, & the 2024 election
Contrary to popular belief, hearing “You have cancer,” is not even close to the toughest part of the journey. Alissa's real grind was everything that follows: decisions she never wanted to make, pain she did not expect, and a medical system that can feel weirdly casual while patients, like Alissa, are...

Everyone on the internet (TikTok......) thinks their nervous system is dysregulated - but what does that actually mean? Many people say their nervous system is exhausted or dysregulated, as if those two states equate to the same thing.
However, they are two completely different things - and you can't treat yourself correctly if you don't actually know what health problem you're experienc...

Identity crisis, morning pages, meditation, sense of self
Losing yourself is, unfortunately, a pretty common part of trauma. When things - perhaps many things - that were so integral to who you thought you were or your daily life suddenly vanish, it usually feels like part of you has gone with it.
That’s terrifying, bro - especially if you thought said things defined you. Whether it’s the loss of a caree...

Invasive questions, the survivor/patient archetype, incorrect assumptions vs validation, honesty, empathy.
One of the hardest parts about reconnecting with friends and family, as well as forging new relationships, after medical trauma is hearing the same sentences on repeat that everyone thinks are appropriate - because they’re what everyone says - but we don’t actually want to hear.
The ‘I’m sorry’s,’ ...

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
