The Concussion Podcast

Concussions are an “invisible illness” that affects individuals, families, and friends throughout the country. The Concussion Podcast — hosted by Amy Tom — educates people about concussions and what happens to the brain when someone experiences head trauma. You’ll learn through highly-educational podcast episodes with guests from varying backgrounds and experiences to tell the full story about concussions. The Concussion Podcast has set a goal of raising $15,000, with all funds going to Brain Injury Canada for the development of online concussion resources to provide education and support, as well as raise awareness about the prevalence and challenges of living with concussion.

The accident

January 30, 2023 • Amy Tom

Five years ago, I hit my head while snowboarding and sustained a concussion that changed my life.

The truth is, I went through 2+ years of severe depression and anxiety as a result of the accident. I left the country to cope with my accident and everything happening in my life. I spent years working really hard to get to a better place mentally and physically. And now, I’m just so so happy to be alive.

This is the story of how I got my concussion, why I'm doing this show, and what I learned along the way.
