Brilliantly Resilient

Well, Waaaahhhhhh!!! It's after Labor Day, and for most of us, that means summer is officially over. But while we're sad, we're excitedd to bring you amazing new guests who will inspire you to begin your own Brilliantly Resilient journey.

As we come upon the 20th anniversary of the horros of 9/11, we couldn't think of a better way to honor those who have given their lives for us than to introduce you to Trish Shallenberger, founder of A Soldier's Hands.

Trish's empowering tale begins with a chance meeting on a plane, where she found herself sitting next to a young soldier about to be deployed. The young man confessed that he wasn't afraid to go into battle, he was more afraid of the sun burning his skin and making his job harder. Touched, Trish promised she would send him sunscreen, and A Soldier's Hands was born!

Tune in to hear how we can find our Brilliance in the most unlikely of places, if only we dare to look. Learn more about Trish and A Soldier's Hands here. 

Happy almost fall, and get ready B.R. community, we have great things in store!

Tune in to hear our buddy Lu Ann talk about daring to take risks and how we can all make life better by saying, "I Dare Me!"

David Fajgenbaum is a physician, a healer, a speaker, a best-selling author, and the main reason he, himself is still alive today. After a devastating diagnosis of Castleman disease in 2010, David found himself on his deathbed a total of five times, told by doctors there was nothing more they could do. Determined not to sit and wait for death, David began to research his own disease, trying drugs designed for other purposes and ultimately finding one that saved his life. 

As a child of four, Lise Deguire was horribly burned in a fire and left by her mother as her mother ran to save herself. Today, Lise shares her Brilliance as a compassionate psychologist who is the epitome of Resilience.
