In this episode of We Are Chaffee’s Looking Upstream podcast, Adam Williams talks with Silvana Montero.
Silvana, a road cyclist, recounts the harrowing experience of when she was hit from behind by a motorist driving more than 45 miles per hour -- and the divine instruction that she heard in that instant that might have saved her life. That led to the first of two traumatic brain injuries that Silvana has been living with since.
They talk about how her life has changed, including the social isolation and grief that came with loss of friendships along the way, and how we all can show up for our loved ones in those critical moments. Among other things.
