About the show
On A Good Day is the podcast delving into brain injury and its impact on all involved. Hosted by Elizabeth Callaghan and Julia Ajayi, our lives changed forever after our husbands suffered a brain injury. It also had a ripple effect on others in our wider family and community.
We’ll be sharing our experiences to help others feel more connected, get inspiring stories from people affected by brain injury and learn more about the condition from our specialist guests.
Expect honest conversations about what goes on behind closed doors: the challenges and triumphs, the good days and the not so good days.
Come join us as we aim to strengthen the communities of people impacted by brain injury and empower others in a similar situation to help them feel less alone and better equipped to take on any challenges – so we can all have more of the good days.
What’s it like to live with someone who has a memory of just ten minutes?
This is the reality for author Catherine Jessop whose husband, Alan, was left with a brain injury after contracting encephalitis.
In this episode, she reveals to Elizabeth and Julia the circumstances around Alan’s brain injury and how they coped as a family in the early days, navigating hospital life during his year-long hospital stay documented in her book Pulling Through.
She talks about the realities of being a carer with honesty and humour and how football has helped Alan following his diagnosis.
