Gabriella Rebranded | Healing After Trauma, Spiritual Growth, Brain Injury Recovery & Dark Humor
Almost dying taught me how to live. Being struck by a car left me in a 3.5 week coma with 15 broken bones and 13 surgeries to complete…including brain surgery. However, I woke up from that coma in an even greater place than what I ever foresaw for myself. How? The Universe will guide you out of the depths and into the light if you allow it. Often, spirituality can come off as too high brow - I’m not about that. Welcome to the podcast that talks and teaches about it through the lens of humor. Together, we’ll harness positive energy and use it to work with the Universe, all while giggling the entire time. Welcome to ‘Gabriella Rebranded.’ Win most, lose some. @GabriellaRebranded on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabriellarebranded @GabriellaRebranded on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellarebranded Sign up for my newsletter!

Me? Patient? Babe, I want things done yesterday. I ride on impulsivity. Based on my birth chart - it's a birth right...but one that needs some mastering. Healing has required me to be patient or try to learn to be patient, but I almost want it to be done? I'm like 'Ok, I've been patient long enough, let's get going!!!' Unfortunately - that's not how healing works.

Ever had a heart-to-heart with the Universe? I did! - On shrooms, of course. In this episode, I share what was dragged out of me from somewhere deep inside—truths about who I am, how I love, and why we’re all here (spoiler: the job description for being human is very simple and easy - but we overthink and make it harder different than you think). We’ll talk trust, friendships, the cosmic inside joke ...

Do you believe in giggling? Do you believe in hehe-ing? Do you believe in haha-ing? And do you believe that it can heal you?! I preach it, I scream it, I yell it - and so does Dean Lin, cohost of the Definitely Delusional podcast.
I mandate that laughter saved me and I wouldn't be where I am today - as recovered, healed, happy, and back to life I am today, if it hadn't been for my ability to ...

Another episode about hair?! Guys, the curly hair community NEEDS this one, I need this one. The haters will say trauma from curly hair is a stretch - by haters I mean people without curly hair! Anyone with curly hair knows it's a fucking struggle, a beautiful struggle, but still a struggle.
Meet my hair stylist, Valerie or Val of ValCutColor. Val is a curl specialist and the first specialist I fo...

I met Taylor Swift because I was hit by a car. This is that story. And this story reflects the entire moral/thesis of this podcast: Using what you have to work with the Universe, rather than focussing on what you don't have. I was able to take said coma and said 16 surgeries and said two month hospital & rehab stay and said brain injury and said Uh Oh experience and use it as a way to canoodle...

Being a party girl can make you a good person! My friend, Emily, cohost of the 'Definitely Delusional' podcast, is here to tell you allllll about that. She wanted to restore the rep of untz untz and tell about how music festivals, the dance floor, and how what most identify as taboo debauchery woke her up to the Universe and connects her to her chakras. At it's core, festivals, partying,...

My written plans for my funeral and wake extravaganzas are as follows. It is very important to write down your funeral plans. Make your final farewell specific to your personal brand. It is more important that we all get more comfortable talking about our own deaths because yeah...that's gonna happen.

When I left the hospital, I couldn’t walk more than 10 feet. Prior to that, I spent over a decade in a toxic relationship with food & my body defined by alternating between overeating and under eating and over exercising and under exercising. Now, I’m in the best shape of my life and my kink is making boys insecure at the gym.
Hannah Leboff was a key part of that journey. An instructor at my gym, w...

First time I cried after my accident for a legit reason that wasn't espresso martinis? When all my hair fell out of my head! A combination of significant bodily trauma and being exposed to exorbitant amounts of anesthesia caused my seemingly endless amounts of thick curly hair to abandon me during the time I needed it most.
Unfortunately...that happens to a lot of people along complicated health j...

Making peace, surrendering, accepting that death is inevitable and not fearing it - a mindset 99% of the world can only dream of reaching, but Bill Hartman did, in fact, inspirationally reach. Today I sit down with my new friend, Annie Hartman, to talk about all she learned about life, faith, trust, empathy, & strength from watching her dad, Bill, battle brain cancer.
We discuss the harsh realiti...

This specific date and time was selected by the Universe. I am listening to the Universe. Choosing to publish on a date so far delayed from my original launch date is a spiritual assignment that I have accepted. My radical acceptance is a hallmark of my physical healing from my severe TBI and spiritual healing and growth. I choose to trust.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
