Real Talk: Spouse Caregiving for Spinal Cord Injury
In this intimate episode, we discuss balancing the roles of spouse and caregiver for a loved one with a spinal cord injury. We dive (hehe) into everyday routines that keep life moving, honest conversations about self-care when it’s hard to find, and practical strategies for distinguishing caregiver duties from the spousal relationship to maintain connection and resilience.

Beyond Rehab (Part2)
Part 2 of our rehabilitation series examines the therapeutic forms we rely on after a spinal cord injury. We begin with mental health therapies—the benefits of ongoing support, coping strategies, mindfulness, and the importance of having a dedicated professional on the journey. Next, we cover massage therapy and its role in pain management, circulation, and muscle health, followed by whole-body and spirit-based approaches that address the person, not just the injury. The episode then turns to cutting-edge research: psilocybin-assisted therapy for spinal injuries, including how trials are conducted, what outcomes researchers measure, and the potential risks and benefits. We share our own experience with psilocybin within a supervised setting, emphasizing that this is not medical advice but part of a broader discussion about neuroplasticity, mood, and healing. Finally, we review peptide therapy studies in the spinal injury space—promising early data, questions about safety and dosing, and how this line of research could complement established rehab practices.
***Throughout, we stress medical supervision, informed consent, and individualized care.***
