In this episode, I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with Adam Pearce, last year’s CNN Hero of the Year, to talk about the profound journey he and his family took after his brother Kevin, a rising professional snowboarder, sustained a traumatic brain injury that changed their lives forever.
Adam opened up about their powerful experience navigating brain injury, resilience, and building the Love Your Brain foundation, which now supports countless others facing similar challenges.
Our conversation dives into the essence of resilience, the strength of community, and the lifelong journey toward healing and acceptance. You’ll be moved by Adam’s story, his insight, and the beautiful mission of Love Your Brain.
