Description
What happens when you survive the unthinkable: a 3.5-week coma, brain surgery, and 15 broken bones, and wake up to a whole new purpose?
Gabriella Rebranded is a podcast about healing after trauma, spiritual growth, brain injury recovery, and dark humor. After being struck by a car and nearly losing my life, I discovered a way of living rooted in resilience, spirituality, and laughter.
Each episode dives into what it really means to rebuild after trauma, connect with the Universe, and find joy in unexpected places. With honest conversations and plenty of humor, I’ll help you harness positive energy, embrace your identity, and rebrand your life — even after the unthinkable. All with a wink and a giggle.

Send Gabriella a Text Message. Divulging into my battle with CPTSD and healing my trauma with the help of neuropsychology. A healthy positive mindset that comes allowing yourself to grieve and celebrating the good, but acknowledging the bad.

Send Gabriella a Text Message. Me? Patient? Babe, I want things done yesterday. I ride on impulsivity. Based on my birth chart - it's a birth right...but one that needs some mastering. Healing has required me to be patient or try to learn to be patient, but I almost want it to be done? I'm like 'Ok, I've been patient long enough, let's get going!!!' Unfortunately - that's not how healing works. Healing is not linear. Just because some things are good now, doesn't mean they'll be good forever....

Send Gabriella a Text Message. I met Taylor Swift because I was hit by a car. This is that story. And this story reflects the entire moral/thesis of this podcast: Using what you have to work with the Universe, rather than focussing on what you don't have. I was able to take said coma and said 16 surgeries and said two month hospital & rehab stay and said brain injury and said Uh Oh experience and use it as a way to canoodle with the most famous woman in the world. But how?! How does...
