● About Me

Hi, I’m C. Rae Johnson

and I am a Traumatic Brain Injury survivor.  I know first hand what it’s like to struggle…physically, emotionally & financially while learning to accept the “new” me & adapt to changes in relationships and also career & job choices due to limitations developing from my brain injury.  As a result, I am deeply committed to sharing with you understanding, compassion, empathy, practical help and inspiration through my own personal experiences, challenges, tough struggles and life events; to hopefully encourage you to Not ever give up – but rather hang onto “Hope”!

I want to encourage you to find hope and healing, to better cope with the many life challenging events you may be faced with, “what life throws at us”, to be able to Endure and Persevere through life’s toughest battles, and to live a victorious life – becoming a Warrior on a journey toward a Bright Future. 

You can learn about what you are struggling with, while finding promising suggestions that have personally helped me throughout my recovery process as well as cascading health issues, broken hearts, strained relationships, disrupted plans, and more; that can positively impact future challenges in promising ways. 

You can still have Dreams and make new Plans for a Future filled with Hope!

Remember, there is “Hope” that a “Good” can come out of a “bad”!
