EP 120: Unveiling Triple PD: Insights from Dr. Abbie Ross and Dr. Dani Tolman
Have you been told your dizziness is "just anxiety" — and wondered why you still don't feel like yourself months or even years later? Many people living with persistent dizziness make the mistake of assuming they simply have to learn to live with it. That's exactly why vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross and Dr. Danielle Tolman are joining me on the podcast today. Together, we unpack Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (3PD), one of the most misunderstood conditions affecting people with chronic dizziness, vestibular disorders, and persistent concussion symptoms. The longer dizziness goes unexplained, the more overwhelming and isolating it can become. Dr. Abbie Ross and Dr. Danielle Tolman explain why 3PD develops, how the brain can become stuck in a heightened state of threat detection, and why recovery requires more than simply pushing through symptoms. They share practical insights on nervous system regulation, graded exposure, and rebuilding trust in your body so you can regain confidence and get back to the activities that matter most. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: What Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (3PD) is and how to recognize its most common symptoms Why concussion, vestibular migraine, BPPV, and other vestibular conditions can contribute to chronic dizziness How Dr. Abbie Ross and Dr. Danielle Tolman approach treatment by addressing the whole person—not just the diagnosis Why recovery starts with nervous system regulation, education, and the right sequencing of rehabilitation Whether you're a clinician supporting patients with chronic dizziness or someone navigating these symptoms yourself, this episode will leave you with a deeper understanding of 3PD and renewed hope for recovery.

EP 119: Cognitive Intolerance: The Concussion Symptom We Don't Talk About Enough
Have you ever wondered why your brain feels completely exhausted after answering emails, sitting in a Zoom meeting, or trying to multitask after a concussion? So many people think they're "resting" after a concussion because they're not exercising or playing sports—but meanwhile, they're doom scrolling, juggling tasks, taking calls, and overloading their brain without even realizing it. The problem? Your brain doesn't distinguish between physical effort and cognitive effort. Thinking, processing information, emotional stress, multitasking, and screen time all demand energy from an already overwhelmed system. In this episode, Natasha breaks down what cognitive load really is, why it can delay recovery, and how to safely navigate return to work without pushing your brain past its limits. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why cognitive work can be just as exhausting as physical activity after a concussion The hidden ways multitasking, screen time, and emotional stress overload the brain What "cognitive intolerance" actually means and how to recognize it How to create a structured, supportive return-to-work plan that sets you up for success If you've been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or confused about why your brain still feels "fried" after a concussion, this episode will help you better understand what's happening—and why recovery requires more than just physical rest.

Most people wait until they're dealing with brain fog, concussion symptoms, cognitive decline, or burnout before paying attention to their brain health. But by the time symptoms show up, changes may have already been happening behind the scenes for years. In this episode, we're diving into why proactive brain health assessments could completely change the future of concussion recovery, cognitive performance, and neurodegenerative disease prevention. From EEGs and eye-tracking technology to the impact of subconcussive hits in sport, this conversation explores what's possible when we stop being reactive and start paying attention before things go wrong. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why brain health baselines may become as important as annual physicals How tools like EEGs, saccadic eye testing, and reflex assessments can measure cognitive function What subconcussive hits may be doing to the brain even without a diagnosed concussion Why supporting your brain health now could impact your recovery and resilience later in life Your brain is involved in every single thing you do — and this episode might just change the way you think about caring for it.

Presence Over Pressure Meditation
What if raising your energy didn't require pushing harder… but simply slowing down long enough to reconnect with yourself? So many of us try to shift our mood, mindset, or frequency through force. We hustle for healing, chase productivity, and pressure ourselves to "feel better" faster. But true energetic shifts often happen in the quietest moments — through presence, softness, and allowing. In this gentle guided meditation, you'll be invited to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the light already within you. Through calming visualization and grounding awareness, this practice helps you move from pressure into peace and from striving into ease. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: How to create an energetic shift through presence instead of pressure A simple visualization to help you feel calmer, lighter, and more grounded Ways to reconnect with your inner warmth and sense of ease How breath and awareness can help raise your frequency naturally A gentle reminder that healing and alignment don't have to feel hard Whether you're starting your morning, resetting during a busy day, or winding down in the evening, this meditation offers a soft space to return to yourself. Take a breath, settle in, and let your inner light expand from the inside out. Let's connect!

Concussion Nerds: The Roundtable S2 EP 5: The Brain Keeps the Score: A Roundtable on Concussion Recovery
What if the symptoms you've been fighting for years aren't "just stress" or "just a concussion"? Too many people are told to simply rest, push through, or wait it out after a brain injury or traumatic event. But when symptoms like migraines, dizziness, anxiety, sleep struggles, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic pain continue to linger, it's often a sign that something deeper is being missed. In this powerful roundtable discussion, concussion professionals from multiple disciplines come together to unpack the complex overlap between concussion, trauma, PTSD, gut health, vision, nervous system regulation, and brain recovery. From cutting-edge neuro technology to the importance of movement, nature, and whole-body healing, this conversation challenges outdated approaches and offers hope for people who feel stuck in their recovery journey. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why concussion recovery is about far more than just the brain How trauma and nervous system dysregulation can mimic concussion symptoms The surprising connection between gut health, inflammation, and chronic pain What the future of brain health and concussion recovery could look like If you've ever wondered why healing feels so complicated — or why you still don't feel like yourself — this episode will leave you feeling seen, informed, and hopeful about what's possible.

Too many people try to "do it all" alone. Clinicians isolate themselves instead of leaning into collaboration, entrepreneurs carry the weight of leadership in silence, and those on a healing journey often stay stuck in communities that reinforce hopelessness instead of growth. But here's the truth: healing, growth, and success were never meant to happen in isolation. The right community can change everything—from your recovery journey to your business trajectory to your sense of purpose and connection. In this episode, Natasha shares personal stories, powerful reflections, and real-life examples of how finding the right people can transform your life in ways you never expected. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why community plays a critical role in concussion recovery, entrepreneurship, and mental well-being The difference between supportive communities that help you grow and toxic spaces that keep you stuck How collaboration and connection can help clinicians better support their patients and avoid burnout Why stepping into uncomfortable rooms and new environments can lead to life-changing opportunities If you've been craving connection, support, or a reminder that you don't have to navigate life alone, this episode is for you.

Softening Into Now (Instead of Pushing Through Again)
What if you gave yourself permission to pause… without needing to earn it first? So many of us carry the belief that we always need to be doing, fixing, striving, or proving something. Even during rest, our minds keep racing and our bodies stay braced for what's next. But living in constant motion can leave you disconnected from yourself, exhausted in your body, and craving a moment of softness. This guided meditation is an invitation to slow down, release the pressure to perform, and remember that your worth is not tied to productivity. You don't need to change anything in this moment. You simply get to be here. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL: Feel more grounded, calm, and present in your body Release tension and soften the need to constantly "do" Reconnect with the idea that rest is allowed and safe Leave with a greater sense of peace, softness, and self-compassion Take this breath, this pause, this moment… and let yourself remember: just being is enough.

If you've been doing all the "right" things—breathwork, tapping, somatics, sound healing—but still feel stuck, you're not alone. There's a growing trend in the concussion space to label everything as a nervous system issue… and while that's part of the picture, it's not the whole story. Here's the hard truth: constantly regulating without addressing the root problem can turn into a subtle form of avoidance. Instead of progressing, you stay in a loop of managing symptoms without truly moving the needle. In this Roundtable episode, we unpack the difference between management and treatment—and why both matter if you actually want to heal. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why nervous system regulation alone isn't enough for concussion recovery The key difference between managing symptoms and actually treating the problem How "doing all the healing things" can sometimes keep you stuck Where technology and innovative tools fit into real, effective care If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting better, this episode might just change the way you approach your recovery.
