Bella has been doing this over the last little while and it's opened a whole new can of worms. From her fears and self-doubt while snowboarding, to her sister's rage, today Bella talks us through her thought process around risking yet another concussion. We dive into why there doesn't seem to be an answer to the question "How many concussions is too many?", and how being nervous can negatively affect your performance. Bella describes how her perception of her injuries is different from that of her loved ones, and how this changes their opinions of risky behavior.  We hear why taking these risks is so important to Bella, and why it’s important to understand that your thinking in the past is not your thinking now. Tune in to hear why Bella thinks it might be better that people can’t see the pain of post-concussion syndrome, the dangers of toxic positivity, and so much more in this solo episode!  Buy yourself a pair of Ear PeacesJoin our support community Concussion Connect!!
