Van Tour Solo Woman Living Cheap in a Minivan
Рет қаралды 275,665
Күн бұрынToday we meet Kelly who had been considering vandwelling for awhile, but was finally pushed over the edge by a Traumatic Brain Injury that left her no choice but to make the leap and live in a Toyota Sienna minivan. It hasn't always been easy for her, but it has been worthwhile. I'm certain we can all find inspiration and guidance in her life and her minivan build!
Here is her KZfaq channel

Kelly may mention the “ brain damage” from her awful accident, but obviously it did not damage her creativity or her positive approach to life! This video is a gem and so is KELLY! 👍❤️

As someone who has also suffered a traumatic brain injury in the past, what she is doing is actually really good for your brain. Living a simpler, less-complicated life does wonders to heal the brain.

voiceOreezn i too have a tbi..ive been in my van for a few months..last month my oldest son asked me if i was feeling better..i told him i actually do..i do have other health issues that i think have improved as well..but my thinking doesnt seem to be as muddled..i dont feel so overwhelmed as often..i guess i feel more relaxed..
@voiceOreezn 6 жыл бұрын
Cheryl Mongold - I actually spoke to a doctor about that. He said that after a tbi, your brain needs "rest" to heal. Going back to regular life doesn't allow for that rest, but getting out in nature, living simply, and slowing down from the rat race does wonders! It also continues to help as time goes on. It does get better!

LOL May Lord God protect and keep you healthy. Safe travels. Love and hugs, Linda
