Welcome to the Brain FUNdamentals Blog!
I began this blog in May 2020 while working as the Lead Coach and Educator at Brain Fit Academy Inc. Today, I’m excited to continue sharing my insights and experiences—only now, I’m writing from the perspective of my own company, Brain FUNdamentals LLC! While the name has changed, my passion for this work remains the same!
The Big Green Ball
There it lay- on the carpet, half of the air out of it, deflated and saggy. It was my Big Green Ball. Yes, I actually named it that.
Sometimes You Just Get Stuck
Sometimes, you can just get "stuck". Emotionally stuck. It may be for a day, a few weeks, or even for years. But just- stuck.
You Don’t Know What you Don’t Know
If you'd never heard of an apple, then you wouldn't know to eat one, correct? Or- if you'd never seen or knew that a phone existed, you wouldn't be looking to call your friend from one.
There’s Smiles, but There’s Also Tears
I looked up at his mother. He had just excused himself to go to the bathroom and we both knew why.
It was so that he could cry-privately.
It’s Not About Me- But it WAS About Me
"How are you feeling- about going into client's homes?" Pam asked me as we walked up to a client's front door. "Good!" I replied. "If you asked me that question six months ago, I'm not sure I would have had the same answer, but I'm good!".
Fear oh Fear oh Fear
Deer are beautiful, majestic animals, aren't they? Sleek bodies, stealthy stride and deep, mysterious eyes. But what happens when deer are afraid? The "deer in the headlights look" we call it.
The Smiles are the Reward
There were smiles all around as he and his mother told me the news. He was sleeping in his own room for the first time in over two years! This ten year old boy had been working with me for about 4-5 months at the time and had been sleeping on a mattress on the floor of his parent’s bedroom because he was too scared to sleep alone.
