Resilience Brilliance™ Podcast
Real stories. Real science. Real resilience.

Hosted by Jena Taylor — brain injury survivor, resilience strategist, and marketing maverick — Resilience Brilliance™ is where courage meets comeback. Each episode shines a light on the many faces of resilience — from everyday people rising from life’s toughest moments to leading experts in neuroplasticity, psychology, trauma recovery, divorce, abuse, and well-being who help us understand how we rise.

Some guests share personal stories of heartbreak, healing, and hope. Others bring the science, tools, and insight behind emotional strength and transformation. And some beautifully blend both.

This isn’t just another “feel good” show. It’s a movement — a reminder that resilience isn’t about bouncing back… it’s about rising differently.

Tune in for laughter, honesty, science, and soul. Because no matter what life throws your way, you have the brilliance to rise again.

👉 Be Real. Be Resilient. Reclaim your life.™
