Welcome to the Secret Life of Wonder Woman podcast. My name is Linda Todd. In 2010 while working in the Gaza Strip, I got sick and ended up with encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain brought on by an unknown infection. This left me with a brain injury that, according to my neurologist, made my brain look like that of one of her elderly Alzheimer’s patients. I was 45 years old. After being given no hope of a recovery and no clue how to even try, I set out to learn how to rescue my own brain. I started by devising my own brain rehab program and continued studying books written by brain experts to bring my brain to as full a recovery as possible. What I learned was what an absolute miracle our brains are! Thanks to the discovery of neuroplasticity, I learned that my brain was capable of exactly what I needed from it! I have shared my knowledge and discoveries with others who have neurological damage or whose loved ones do and I want to share this with YOU! Brain health affects EVERYONE so tune in, subscribe and get ready to learn some really cool stuff about THE most important organ in your body! The control centre, your amazing brain.

What does Paul's letter to the Galatians say about unity in Christ? What did Jesus say about it in John 17? When Judaized Christians threatened to disrupt my MissionsFest 2012 seminar on peace and unity with Palestinian Christians, God showed up and thwarted their plans by filling me with peace, love and wisdom As Believers, we need to be about building unity in Christ, not sewing discord and chaos. Love each other. We are united by Christ Jesus, let's be united in Him

In John 17 20-23, Jesus prays for unity among His people. He goes into detail about what that should look like, then He says why... "Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you loved me" This unity is key to reaching the lost and seeing them come to salvation in Jesus. KEY

So often I encounter people who have never heard of the magic of neuroplasticity when it comes to chronic pain.
This is another topic that I will come back to from time to time because I want you to know that there is HOPE for you to find relief from chronic pain without solely relying on pharmaceutical medications with their potentially harmful side effects.
I am not saying to completely avoid medications but rather to use them as tool while you're able to recover the parts of your brain that have been hijacked for chronic pain.
Take charge of your life again and put chronic pain in its place!

Gaslighting is a form of mental and emotional abuse. Why does this belong on a podcast about the brain? Because when you've had a brain injury, we are more easily affected negatively by anything that messes with our minds and emotions and gaslighting does that in a big way!
By its very nature, it is difficult to confront and rarely ever admitted to....so learn to walk away. It's for your own protection.
Once you've done the hard work to recover your brain health, including mental and emotional health, you deserve to vigorously protect it from further damage as much as you can.
If you are being gaslighted, or think you are, let's talk. Contact me through my website: http://www.thesecretlifeofwonderwoman.com I'm here to help you

Neurogenesis, the development of new “baby” neurons in our brains is a scientific fact. How we program them is entirely up to us. What if we could stack the odds in favour of a happier, more productive mindset? Let’s see how!!

Imagine what you want to change and then keep it up and enjoy the changes you wanted. You imagination is a powerful tool! Use it for your benefit, not just as a distraction
