Dr. Drew Nagle.It is our distinct honor to celebrate this year’s September Soiree Community Hero Award honoree: Dr. Drew Nagele! 💙

Our foundation is supported by an amazing board of directors who guide our mission and a small but mighty crew of volunteers who help us connect with our TBI community. We are excited to welcome a new volunteer, Parker, to our crew!
We loved hearing what she had to say about finding MYB.

"As a social worker with a specialty in brain injury rehabilitation, Mind Your Brain has proven to be an invaluable resource for many of my patients. There are woefully few options for post-acute brain injury rehabilitation, and even fewer opportunities for brain injury survivors to find strength in community during the lifelong journey of recovery. Mind Your Brain is changing that. After volunteering at one of MYB’s survivor conferences when I was an MSW student, I fell in love with the organization and the community it creates, supports, and enriches. I’m thrilled to be joining the MYB team and continuing to work on making post-acute care recovery accessible, available, and communal. "

Fierce and Flourishing!
Stories of Grit, Growth, and Life After Brain Injury.

This month, we are featuring a good friend of the Mind Your Brain Foundation, Maddie Beauregard.
"A rejection letter doesn't define us." 🧠✨
From collegiate ice hockey player to higher-ed advocate, Maddie’s story is a powerful reminder of what resilience really looks like after a brain injury.
***
Returning to work after a brain injury requires patience, resilience, and immense courage—a truth Maddie knows firsthand.

While playing collegiate ice hockey at the University of Vermont, two concussions in a single week changed everything. Her recovery brought chronic migraines, light sensitivity, and fatigue, showing her firsthand that healing isn't linear.

Navigating college and the workplace with an invisible disability wasn't easy, but it taught Maddie her most valuable skill: self-advocacy.

"Asking for reasonable accommodations isn't asking for special treatment—it’s asking for an equal opportunity to succeed," she shares.

Her key takeaways for fellow survivors:

▪️Ease back in: Approach returning to work gradually. Starting part-time creates space to manage symptoms and attend medical appointments.

▪️Know your rights: After facing discriminatory interview questions, Maddie urges job seekers to learn ADA protections and remember you are never obligated to share more medical history than you feel comfortable with.

▪️Look beyond salary: Flexible schedules, supportive environments, and even controllable lighting can make the difference between surviving the workday and truly thriving.

▪️Reframe rejection: "Brain injury survivors have already overcome adversity that most people will never experience," Maddie says. "A rejection letter doesn't define us."

After graduating summa cm laude, Maddie’s journey has come full circle. Today, she works in higher education, helping students access the very accommodations that changed her life.

Recovery may change the way you work, but it never diminishes what you have to offer. Learn your rights, know your worth, and let your strength shine. 💙
