Robson Lindberg is awesome. Let’s just say that from the beginning. He’s a speaker, mental coach, podcaster, and the worlds TBI patient. What’s TBI? Traumatic Brain Injury. During an ice hockey game Robson was checked or to any folk who aren’t familiar with Ice Hockey terms was tackled. Robson’s was hit the ice so hard that he was out cold for over 2 minutes. That injury would go onto result in memory loss, degraded motor function, and mental health issues.

Robson was a great guest on the show because of the vulnerability, honesty, and level of detail he goes to about his rehab towards a life that enables his freedom and independence again 😊 We spoke about Finnish culture, Saunas, training for and then completing his first Iron Man competition, the story of recovering from such a severe brain injury, changes in personality, memory loss, and fatigue. There is so much in this episode!
.
There’s a really key moment in the episode about 37 minutes in where Robson is talking about being in the shower after going back to visit family and hearing a voice in his head which challenged him into admitting to himself that he was suffering with brain injury and that he was not ok. It was a particularly key moment, and it was emotional to say the least.
