  • 16. Creating Growth Mindsets Following Brain Injury
    Jun 5 2024

    After a brain injury, it can feel as if life has let you down and you don't feel the same person anymore. This can lead to negative thoughts and limiting beliefs, which can be damaging to your recovery.

    Join Jules and Mark, who have been teaching the importance of creating growth mindsets at the Future Toolbox for many years. It's about believing that you can grow and change and become the person you want to be, whether that's finding some of the old you or learning new skills and habits.

    Creating growth mindsets have also been key in both their business and personal life, following Mark's brain injury.

    We can only go so far in educating family, friends and work colleagues about the hidden side effects that a brain injury may present. Hidden disabilities include fatigue, memory loss, OCD, anxiety and personality disorders.

    Join Jules and Mark as they talk about how they've had to explain and educate family and friends on these topics that have a profound effect on their daily lives.

  • 14. Coping With Hidden Disabilities
    May 7 2024

    Hidden disabilities are just that! Hidden! They include fatigue, memory loss, OCD, anxiety and personality disorders.

    Join Jules and Mark as they share their lived experience on the challenges they've faced, not only coping with these but also having to explain and educate family and friends on these topics that have a profound effect on their daily lives.

    Mark is a high-functioning brain injury survivor, so his hidden disabilities are even harder to spot for those around him. Plus, they can also be difficult to accept when they get in the way of life.
