After navigating recovery, advocacy, I now help others find strength, purpose, and confidence in their own journeys.

Tawnie Romero Golic | The Neuro Mermaid
Shello, I’m Tawnie—a two-time brain surgery survivor, stroke warrior, and mermaid on a mission. After surviving a ruptured brain aneurysm at 28, I made it my purpose to raise awareness, build community, and share tools that support healing from the inside out. Whether I'm swimming in my custom mermaid tail (with my actual brain scan!) or hosting support calls with fellow survivors, I believe healing gets louder—and more magical—when we do it together.
As a mindset coach, content creator, and proud ambassador for The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation (TAAF), I use my story to spark change, share resources, and celebrate neuroplasticity in action.
Let’s create ripples of healing, advocacy, and joy—one step (or tail flick) at a time. 🧠💙

Harry was recently diagnosed with a rare condition that affects his teeth and oral health. The recommendation is full dental extraction so he can live comfortably and pain free.
Watching him go through this has reminded me of my own surgeries. Of resilience. Of starting over. Of building a new life after something unexpected.
If you would like to follow his journey, we are documenting and updating.
If you feel called to contribute, even one dollar helps support his procedure and recovery.
Thank you for loving him with us.

I create content that blends wellness, advocacy, and a little mermaid mischief. 🧜🏽♀️
As a two-time brain surgery survivor and neurodivergent mindset coach, my storytelling has attracted a vibrant, loyal community. I collaborate with brands I believe in and turn products into conversations that stick. If you’re looking for content that’s heart-led, neurodivergent-friendly, and uniquely memorable—I’m your siren. 💫

After surviving two brain surgeries and a stroke, my energy, focus, and mood were unpredictable—but I found a powerful tool in Pure Therapeutic Ketones.
They’ve helped me rebuild trust with my brain and body, and now I share them to support others on their healing journeys. My mission? To make brain and body fuel accessible, empowering, and a little more fun for neurodivergent, chronically creative humans like me. 💙🧠

If you are waiting for a “better season” to feel joy, this is your wake up call.
March is about romanticizing the life you already have. Your messy kitchen. Your quiet mornings. Your tiny wins. Your slow progress.
Each day gives you a gratitude prompt, affirmation, and mindset shift so you can stop spiraling about what you did not accomplish and start honoring the version of you who kept going.
Because calm is powerful.
And peace is hot.
This was after my first brain surgery, ive done a couple update videos should I do another one with them?
