Can trauma lead to transformation? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Rob Baugh, host of the Life Rewired podcast, who shares his raw and real journey of surviving a traumatic brain injury—and rising above it with heart, humor, and hope.
From early dreams of cake decorating and piano playing to an unexpected injury that changed everything, Rob opens up about the emotional and physical challenges of living with brain trauma. But his story doesn’t end there. Instead, it begins a new chapter—one filled with community support, honest storytelling, and a mission to help others rewire their own lives after adversity.
