POSTS STORIES REELS

✨ Now available on Amazon, braintalkfoundation.org, and anywhere books are sold!

After years of having The Brain Talk with patients, survivors, and families, Dr. Kelli is bringing those conversations to the page.

This book goes beyond the injury itself into the mental health journey, the identity shifts, the relationships that change, and the resilience that slowly begins to rise.

For the survivors who feel misunderstood.
For the families learning a new version of life.
For anyone whose recovery has looked different than expected.

This is more than a book.
It’s a reminder that healing has layers and your story still matters.

Sometimes the weeks fly by and sometimes they don’t. Either way, finish like a boss! by @drkellibraintalkslp

Same day. Same professor life. Different after-hours activities! 😂🧠

I challenged my Brain Bestie, @drkellibraintalkslp, to the photo trend to see how our days compared.

Turns out, our days looked pretty similar… until she got to be comfy in her pj's on the laptop💤💻, and I became a nighttime baker!👩🏽‍🍳🥮

Just another day in the life of the Brain Besties! 💙🧠💜 by @drkellibraintalkslp

Me: “I’m recording content today!” 🎥

Also me: Treats patients, answers 37 emails, teaches a class, has four meetings, gets distracted, and records absolutely NOTHING. 😂🤣
