We had the honor of welcoming Craig Philips, founder of Second Chance to Live, to share his journey of living with a brain injury and advocating for others. His story spoke to the importance of acceptance, self-advocacy, and resilience.
Notable quotes:
- Shift from “Why me?” to “Why not me?” mindset
- “Don’t be a prisoner of the past, be the architect of the future”
- “Brain injury is like a switch on railroad that points in different direction”
We are grateful for his wisdom and inspiration!! 💙
