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 />
