Podcast Overview

Real Talk: Unfiltered What does “resilience” really mean? For years, I thought it meant “pushing through.” Then a traumatic brain injury (TBI) shattered my old self and taught me that true strength is found in grace, not grit. This is my story of: Losing my voice literally: I called Portobello ("mushrooms-goblin-pasta”). Almost missing my son’s birthday… and the hug that saved me. Rebelling against doctors who said I’d “never recover past 70%.” Flying to India broken and finding peace in breath-work, yoga, and silence. Learning what healing really means

What is We Need To Talk - Real Talk Unfiltered?

Real Talk: Unfiltered

What does “resilience” really mean?

For years, I thought it meant “pushing through.” Then a traumatic brain injury (TBI) shattered my old self and taught me that true strength is found in grace, not grit.

This is my story of:

Losing my voice literally: I called Portobello ("mushrooms-goblin-pasta”). Almost missing my son’s birthday… and the hug that saved me. Rebelling against doctors who said I’d “never recover past 70%.” Flying to India broken and finding peace in breath-work, yoga, and silence. Learning what healing really means
