All Can No Can't | Mastering Resilience
Welcome to All Can, No Can't – the podcast where we turn "I can’t" into "I can" and transform challenges into opportunities.
I’m your host, Jeff Luther, and I started this journey after dying on a CrossFit gym floor and getting a life-changing diagnosis. This experience forced me to confront what I thought I couldn’t do—and taught me just how much more I was capable of.
Each week, we’ll dive into stories, strategies, and mindset shifts to help you focus on what’s possible—even when life throws you curveballs. Whether it’s personal struggles, professional hurdles, or those quiet doubts that whisper "you’re not enough," this podcast is here to help you push forward.
Because when you stop fixating on the can’t and lean into the can, you’ll realize you’re stronger than you ever thought. Let’s do this together.
Let's Master resilience together.

094: Navigating Trauma, Neuroscience, and Mindset with Danielle Matthews
What happens when everything that defined you — your job, your identity, your confidence — disappears overnight?
In this deeply moving episode of All Can No Can’t, host Jeff Luther sits down with Danielle Matthews, speaker, educator, and founder of Brain Body Self, who turned a devastating traumatic brain injury into a journey of awakening, healing, and purpose.
At just 23, Danielle was hit head-on by a drunk driver — and told she might never be the same again. But instead of accepting “this is your new normal,” she rebuilt from the inside out. Through stillness, self-awareness, and spiritual growth, she discovered that healing starts when you stop fighting reality — and start listening to what it’s teaching you.
You’ll learn:
How a brain injury rewired Danielle’s mind and mission
The moment she decided she would not be a victim
Why surrendering control can become your greatest strength
How yoga, meditation, and presence reconnected her with purpose
The truth about ego death, post-traumatic growth, and finding peace within
If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or broken — this conversation will remind you that your greatest fall might be your greatest awakening.
