Nothing Like a Brain Haemorrhage To Refocus The Mind with Daniel MacQueen
About this episode
Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.
There comes a time in almost everyone’s life when we will encounter trauma. Now, that trauma can be from getting punched in the face for the first time to being shamed to dealing with death. But what if your trauma left you in a coma for weeks on end leaving you barely able to remember how to do even the smallest thing? It can be a very lonely road back and my guest today is going to share his journey from that very place to help people reframe the obstacles in their lives.
The events in our lives reveal to us just what we are made of. Our character in full display may be far different than the one we thought it would be. For some,this truth only compounds the issue while for others, it galvanizes them into forging a new stronger version of themselves. Well, today my guest has done just that.
At 28, Daniel MacQueen was leading a healthy, active life. After an optometrist appointment to identify the cause of his persistent headaches was cut short, he was handed a sealed envelope and told to go directly to the hospital. What followed, was emergency brain surgery. On June 21, 2014, Dan's reality was shattered by a devastating brain haemorrhage. With no map to guide him on the gruelling path to recovery, Dan had to rely on his grit, perseverance,and resilience to relearn everything he once knew: how to walk, talk and even smile.
