Today\u2019s guest, Adam Pearce, has a heartbreaking personal story that has humbled him and changed his life. It\u2019s also taught him patience, resilience and hope \u2014 and perhaps given him a deeper experience of love. Most importantly, he\u2019s learned the gifts that come from accepting what IS \u2014 especially when it\u2019s out of our control.\xa0\nIn 2009, his brother, Kevin Pearce, one of the top snowboarders in the world (competing against Shaun White and often winning) had a tragic accident while training. This happened as he was heading into the Olympics. It left Kevin with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) which changed the course of his life, and Adam's life as well. Adam shared how he kept going despite sadness and uncertainty - and how both he and Kevin had to reframe their mindset to help the healing process. One doctor told Kevin he would need to find a way to \u2018love your brain.\u2019 This ultimately became the name of the foundation they formed to help others with TBI. Meditation, yoga, compassion and connection\u2026are all at the heart of the foundation. I loved when Adam said that adversity and suffering can be a greater pathway to finding meaning and growth. So true. He\u2019s quite an amazing guy.\nCheck him out at CNN Heroes with Adam Pearce: https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2023/03/09/meditation-yoga-retreat-traumatic-brain-injury-cnnheroes.cnn\nThe film about them is produced by HBO and is called Crash Reel.\nUntangle is brought to you by Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential AND Meditation Studio the five star app. Muse is excited to have partnered with the love your brain foundation.
