About this listen

In Episode 36, Erika sits down with Sheila Baugh—a fiercely devoted wife and caregiver navigating life after her husband Rob’s traumatic brain injury in July 2020. From their sweet beginning on a blind date in the ’90s to the life-altering accident that changed everything, Sheila opens up about the realities of loving someone through TBI: the medical maze, the career disruptions, the emotional toll, and the moments of grace that keep her going.

Sheila shares candidly about juggling their family’s needs while advocating for Rob’s care, fighting for services, showing up to endless appointments, and learning to rebuild their life one day at a time. She talks about redefining marriage after injury, the power of community support, and the importance of self-care—even when it feels impossible. Her story is raw, relatable, and a reminder that while TBI changes everything, it does not erase love, commitment, or hope.

This episode shines a light on the unseen battles TBI caregivers face daily—and celebrates the resilience, courage, and unwavering commitment that define the journey.
