About this listen
In this episode of Lights On, Erin and Amanda talk honestly about one of the hardest parts of TBI caregiving—realizing we can't do it alone. They share the guilt, fear, and confusion that come with asking for help, and how friends, family, and even unexpected community members stepped in before they knew what they needed.
From inner-circle supporters to the wider community offering meals, cards, and comfort, they explore what meaningful support looks like—and how to honor boundaries while still accepting the light others bring.
The episode also introduces the NeuroMoms Comfort Kits, inspired by their own experiences arriving in the neuro ICU with nothing. These small, thoughtful kits are designed to offer caregivers a glimmer of comfort in their most disorienting moments.
A reminder for every caregiver: you don't have to shine alone. Community is part of healing.
