On March 17th, 2020, as the world was shutting down, so too was the unexpected shut-down of Bri's body. After a quick 24 hours of a strange tingling sensation which started in her feet and grew up her legs, she brought myself to the emergency room and scaled the triage desk with her hands to let the receptionist know “I think my legs are about to collapse beneath me.” And no sooner than she said it, did it happen.
The tingling sensation in her feet grew up her legs in intensity, from pins and needles to a shooting knife-like feeling. The perplexing condition left her completely paralyzed from the waist down, and neck up. A very rare neurological/autoimmune condition attacked the healthy cells in her brain and spine, and doctors deemed it “miraculous” that only her mobility (and not my cognition, perception, language, or virtually any other human function) was compromised.
She gave herself the most precious birthday gift; and took her first steps again the day she turned 29. From there, she went through intense rehabilitation, and in under a year, ran her first marathon distance (having previously never run more than a 5k).
She also started her business and podcast out of the life-changing lessons she was able to counsel herself through in that hospital bed, and the unparalleled wonder of learning how to walk again, this time as a “conscious human being.” She now shares her story through speaking, workshops, and coaching, with all of her work grounded in self-actualization, conscious processes, and emotional wellness.
Bri Tartaglione is a Motivational Speaker, Certified School Counselor, Emotional Wellness Coach, business owner, and podcaster in the the field of personal development and mental well-being.
