Life didn’t tap Carla Taylor on the shoulder — it knocked her flat. What started as a “normal” headache turned into a grapefruit-sized brain tumor that had been quietly growing for nearly a decade. One insistence on a CT scan saved her life. One surgery changed everything.
In this episode, Carla shares the raw, unfiltered truth of what happens after survival — when your body lives, but your identity shatters. When you can’t work, can’t help, can’t give, can’t even regulate your emotions… and you’re forced to confront the terrifying question: Who am I if I can do nothing for anyone else?
This is not a tragedy story. It’s a holy, hard-earned conversation about healing, faith, fear, forgiveness, and why the quiet work of healing your own heart may be the most powerful contribution you ever make.
