About This Podcast

Making Headway is a podcast made for brain injury survivors by two friends who also happen to be brain injury survivors. Known as the "invisible disability", brain injuries can make survivors feel alone and isolated even though an estimated 1.5 million Americans are affected every year. You are not alone. Join hosts Eryn Martin (subarachnoid hemorrhage survivor) and Alison House (subarachnoid hemorrhage survivor) on their brain injury recovery journeys as they interview medical practitioners and professionals who lend unique perspective to the recovery process as well as other survivors who share their incredible stories.
