In this final episode of the year, Erika Brouillette opens her heart and shares the truth of what the last twelve months have looked like—messy, stretching, humbling, beautiful, and nothing short of transformative. From reaching out to an old family friend who unexpectedly became a life-changing guide, to launching the Real Lives of TBI Wives podcast in April, to watching a community rise up around her in ways she never could have planned… this episode is a reflection on what happens when you say “yes” to growth even when the circumstances aren’t ideal.

Erika walks listeners through the unexpected plot twists of the past year—TikTok Lives with Lalli that are breaking down walls in the TBI world, a sudden hernia surgery that forced her to receive care instead of always giving it, caregivers stepping into her home, major financial decisions she never planned to make, and the raw frustration of navigating seven weeks without Medicaid while fighting daily for her husband’s basic needs. Yet through every challenge, breakthrough, and blessing, one thing became clear: this was a year of becoming.

As Erika reconnects with who she is, rebuilds the parts of life that were stretched thin, and radiates with a renewed sense of purpose, she invites listeners to do the same. This episode is an honest, hope-filled reminder that growth often happens in the hardest seasons—and that even when life asks more of us than we feel we have to give, we are never alone.

If you’re a caregiver, a TBI wife, or someone rebuilding your life in real time, this one is for you.
