Description

Identity After Trauma, Brain Cancer, and the Science of Resilience.<br /> What happens when a brain tumor fractures the identity you’ve built your life around?<br /> <br /> In this episode of Something Shifted, Sean Loots explores identity after trauma through the story of Conn, a high-performing creative director whose life split into before and after at age 36. <br /> <br /> What began as subtle slurred speech and six-second headaches became emergency brain surgery and a rare diagnosis: medulloblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer usually found in children under five.<br /> <br /> Within hours, Conn was signing a form warning he might wake up blind, deaf, or not wake up at all.<br /> <br /> This is the moment identity fractures.<br /> <br /> www.somethingshifted.co.za<br /> recorded at Latitude Podcast Studio. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2PGntgE4y6RG6wxTxUqgJI?si=CA9uGd2wRRaKQOpJ8-VrmQ">Listen to Something Shifted: The Soundtrack on Spotify</a>
