Rediscovering ourselves, our family, our spirit, and a life after traumatic brain injury.

My name is Bridgid Ruden and I am an Inspirational Speaker available for presentations all across the country.  I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2008 causing aphasia, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder, vertigo, balance issues and memory loss. These devastating disabilities have stolen many valuable aspects from my life, including my career as a Nurse Practitioner. Despite these issues, I will not let it steal away my hope, courage, or my future. As a testament to my recovery, I am now publicly sharing my healing process, my struggles,  and my achievements with health care professionals, survivors and their advocates as an Inspirational Speaker.  I am also currently blogging about my everyday experiences in the hopes that sharing my story will open doors and further people’s understanding of this phenomena.  You can  follow my Blog here.

This website is designed to be a source of information, encouragement, stabilization and support. I believe in the value of sharing our stories so that we all can gain and be inspired from each other’s struggles and strengths.

Recovery is now my way of life!
