Resilience in the Storm - Erika’s TBI Wife Journey | Ep. 1

In this powerful premiere of Real Lives of TBI Wives, host and caregiver Erika Brouillette opens up about the life-altering moment her husband Shelby suffered a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Erika shares the raw details of the accident, the agonizing weeks in the ICU during COVID lockdowns, and the uphill battle to secure proper rehabilitation and care.

More than a story of survival, this episode is a deeply personal reflection on the emotional weight of being a wife-turned-caregiver, the challenges of raising children amid trauma, and the resilience it takes to fight for someone you love when the system says "there’s no hope."

You’ll hear how Erika leaned on faith, advocacy, and an incredible support system to hold her family together—and how she continues to show up in the face of the unknown.
