Hello! Thank you for stopping by! This is launch week for Concussion: There IS Hope, a podcast bringing awe and respect for concussion survivors and their families. Whether you’ve had a concussion or not, there are insidious dangers associated with concussions that all people need to know. Did you know a second concussion on top of a first can cause immediate death? It’s this kind of information you deserve to have; every family needs to know what I’ll be sharing in the episodes to come. Concussions are everyone’s business, and that’s why I’m launching this podcast. I want everyone to stay safer than I have, suffering through my 10 concussions.

Today’s sneak peek is into the life of Elizabeth Paras. While she has not experienced a concussion herself, she has lived with tragedy, and her story is insightful. Liz is the creator and director of THRIVE! Youth Camps. She works as a life coach, presenter and energy worker. She has an elementary and special education degree and has taught elementary school and in other capacities, including as a counselor and director at Oakcrest Girls Camp. Her specialty is presenting to elementary schools and youth organizations to promote self-awareness and self-confidence. More than anything, she has five boys and spends oodles of time with them camping, hiking, and fishing. She knows kids! That’s why she is passionate about her work to help young people awaken their greatness and gain the skills, knowledge, and self-mastery so they can Awake, Arise, and Thrive in life. In this episode, Elizabeth shares techniques of dealing with the heavy emotions that can attend a head injury.
