37. Healing Through Trauma: Finding Resilience, Empowerment, and FUN with Miss Kansas USA Contestant Taylor Rains
We’re incredibly honored to welcome an amazing guest, Taylor Rains, onto the podcast today!
Taylor Rains is the Founder and CEO of The Social Collective, a digital marketing agency. With a Master's in Organizational Leadership, she is passionate about empowering others. A dedicated advocate for survivors of abuse and sex trafficking, she balances her career with family life, being married to Austin, and a proud mama to Lincoln. Currently, she is competing for the title of Miss Kansas USA.
In today’s conversation, we’re talking about healing through trauma, and finding resilience, empowerment, and fun. Taylor is all about challenging the narrative; she’s courageous, and is NOT going to be held back from pursuing her dreams.
From experiencing trauma, to now competing in her first pageant for the title of Miss Kansas USA, Taylor is passionate about helping women find hope, and live joy-filled lives!
Taylor has experienced the life-changing power of therapy, and has seen how vital community is. She believes in living out loud, having fun along the way (because..why not?!), and has taken ownership of her story and her life.
Taylor is a beautiful, bright light in this world, and her story is truly remarkable. If you’re looking to find more purpose, strength, and joy in life (regardless of what you’ve been through), this is an episode you will NOT want to miss!

- Taylor’s journey with CPTSD that ultimately led her to competing for the upcoming Miss Kansas USA pageant
