Why Ethical Sharing Matters: Protecting the Heart of Second Chance to Live
For over 18½ years, I’ve written, spoken, and created from the lived experience of a childhood traumatic brain injury. Everything I share through Second Chance to Live reflects decades of learning, growing, and showing up — not as a product, but as a person.
That’s why I recently created a Use and Sharing Policy for Second Chance to Live. It’s not about restriction — it’s about honoring the voice behind the words, and protecting the message from distortion or misuse.
🔍 Why This Policy Is Important
In a time when AI tools are rapidly evolving and digital content can be copied in seconds, it’s essential to establish clear boundaries that protect trauma-informed, lived experience content.
This policy:
-
Affirms my moral rights as the creator of this work
-
Outlines how my content can (and cannot) be shared
-
Prevents misuse of my story, especially in AI and academic datasets
-
Invites ethical collaboration from individuals and organizations
🌈 What It Means for You
If you find my articles, videos, or presentations meaningful, you are welcome to share them with credit and without changes. You may:
-
Include links in your newsletter or support group
-
Share posts on social media (with attribution)
-
Reference my work in educational materials (with permission)
But please do not:
-
Copy and paste content onto your own website
-
Translate or adapt materials without consent
-
Use my work to train AI tools or in corporate trainings without contacting me first
