Inner Pieces
As a ruptured Brain Aneurysm survivor, I know firsthand the challenges and struggles that come with overcoming trauma and starting over. That's why I created this space - a place where I can laugh, connect with others who have been through similar experiences, and vent about the ups and downs of the journey. It's a community where we can support each other, share our stories, and find humor in the midst of it all. Because sometimes, a little laughter is the best medicine for healing and moving forward. Together, we can continue to thrive and grow, despite the obstacles we have faced.
