At just 19 years old, Brandi was diagnosed with aplastic anemia and PNH, rare blood disorders that changed the course of her life. What began as a devastating diagnosis became a calling. Brandi turned her pain into purpose by helping register hundreds of potential bone marrow donors and supporting patients navigating similar journeys.

Brandi shares what it meant to pause her college dreams, face uncertainty, learn “the art of rest,” and discover that resilience is not something we do alone. Her story is a moving reminder that community, advocacy, patience, and storytelling can become life-saving forces.

What does it mean to have life break open in a single moment — and discover that the strength you need was already inside you?

In this powerful episode of Resiliency The Podcast, Jenn Quader and Dr. Kelly Culver sit down with Elle Davis, MSW, founder of The Elevate Group, TEDx speaker, and author of The Art of the Bounce Back: 31 Days of Resilient Living.

Elle shares the deeply personal story of losing her husband suddenly when their daughter was just two years old, and how grief, solo parenting, faith, community, and action shaped her understanding of resilience. Her story reminds us that resilience is not about coming back untouched. It is about returning to ourselves with the bruises, heartbreaks, and lessons that life leaves behind.

Together, Jenn, Dr. Kelly, and Elle explore grief, motherhood, symbols of strength, community care, nonprofit leadership, vulnerability, and what it means to transform pain into purpose.

In This Episode Elle Davis shares:

How she defines resilience as “the art of the bounce back”

The moment people began calling her resilient after speaking at her husband’s funeral

How community helped her survive grief and solo parenting

What it means to move from “warrior” energy toward sovereignty

How The Elevate Group supports overlooked middle managers in the nonprofit sector

Why vulnerability is essential to leadership development

Why sharing our stories can help others keep going

From the realities of the global energy transition to the psychology behind resistance to change, Dimitri breaks down why the shift to a clean economy is not just necessary—but already underway.

🔑 Key Topics Discussed

• Why the clean energy transition is inevitable—and already happening faster than expected
• The role of inclusion and trust in solving global challenges
• How politics and tribal thinking are slowing progress
• The real reason people resist climate action: “What’s in it for me?”
• Why renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels
• The global race for dominance in AI, energy, and innovation
• What businesses must do to future-proof their assets and workforce
• The connection between resilience, leadership, and long-term thinking

This conversation reframes climate change from a distant, moral issue into a present-day economic opportunity. Dimitri makes it clear:

• The future economy will be powered by renewables, AI, and innovation
• Countries and companies that fail to adapt will fall behind
• True resilience requires planning ahead—even when it’s uncomfortable

Resilience isn’t just about surviving change—it’s about anticipating it, preparing for it, and leading through it.

Taryn takes us inside her extraordinary journey:

• Finding courage, surrender, and joy on the open ocean
• What fear taught her on day 27, when the weather turned
• How impermanence, meditation, and nature shaped her inner landscape
• What reintegration to land has really looked like after such a monumental experience
• Why true resilience is built through community, not isolation

Taryn’s story reminds us that resilience isn’t about brute strength — it’s about navigating what comes, embracing discomfort, and choosing to push forward even when conditions feel overwhelming.

This is a conversation about courage, curiosity, community, and the kind of transformation that only comes from stepping far outside your comfort zone.

Over a 27-year military career, Jenn Donahue led at the highest levels in some of the world’s most hostile environments. She built a bridge across the Euphrates River during the Iraq War, commanded an 800-person battalion in Afghanistan, and led combat construction operations while under direct threat to her life. Through it all, she learned how resilience is built not through bravado, but through stability, self-awareness, and purpose.

Now in civilian life, Jenn helps leaders silence self-doubt, confront imposter syndrome, and lead with both strength and empathy.

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What resilience looks like when decisions carry life-or-death consequences
• How to lead calmly under extreme pressure
• Why imposter syndrome affects even the most accomplished leaders
• The power of pausing, stabilizing, and choosing clarity in chaos
• How to transition from military leadership to civilian leadership with purpose
• Why great leaders balance authority with empathy
• How to “silence the inner critic” and reclaim confidence

Jenn also shares insights from her upcoming book, Becoming the Warrior: Harnessing Your Inner Strength to Silence Self-Doubt, offering practical tools and mindset shifts to help leaders navigate fear, pressure, and uncertainty.

This episode is a masterclass in resilient leadership, courage, and what it takes to show up for others — even when you’re scared yourself.

Carrie’s journey is one of courage, faith, and soul work. After surviving trauma in the workplace, she made the choice not only to speak up — but to do so with grace. Through her healing, she discovered that:
“You can do a lot of things out of anger and still be tied up in knots inside. I wanted to come back with peace.”

Carrie opens up about:
💔 The moment she questioned everything she believed — and doubled down on faith.
⚖️ The creation and impact of Carrie’s Law on corporate accountability.
🙏 How prayer, scripture, and daily spiritual grounding carried her through unimaginable darkness.
🌿 Why “no one hears you when you’re angry” became a turning point in her healing journey.
🕯️ What true resilience looks like — not as a roar, but as a whisper that says keep going.
This episode is a testament to how faith can transform pain into purpose, and how quiet strength can change not only one life — but the world.
