What happens when a 4.0 college student, marathon runner, and gifted musician is suddenly hit by a car—and everything changes in an instant?

In this powerful episode of Change Happened, Then What?, host Heather Holt shares the story of Andy Johnson, whose life was forever altered by a traumatic brain injury. Once a brilliant student and saxophone player, Andy had to relearn how to walk, speak, and even add 2 + 2. Yet somehow, one thing never left him—music.

From playing Chopin by memory when he couldn’t remember his own name, to discovering forgiveness as the key to real healing, Andy’s journey shows how the human spirit can rebuild itself note by note. Along the way, he graduates with two degrees, becomes a licensed therapist, and opens a practice helping others heal through Brainspotting and trauma-informed therapy.

This is a story about recovery, purpose, and the freedom that comes when you let go.
