Radiant Resilience - Real Conversations with Tawny Palm
Welcome to Radiant Resilience, the podcast where real people share their unfiltered stories of triumph, perseverance, and the raw realities of life.
In a world dominated by curated social media narratives, it's easy to feel alone in our struggles. But the truth is, everyone faces challenges – some overcome them, others navigate through, and a few find themselves still in the midst of the storm. Tawny Palm invites you to join an open and honest conversation that goes beyond the highlight reel.
These are not just success stories; these are real-life accounts of resilience in the face of adversity. In each episode, guests bravely step into the spotlight to recount their journeys, sharing the highs, lows, and the unexpected twists that have shaped them. You'll hear stories of triumph, stories of survival, and stories that are still unfolding.
In the spirit of fostering genuine connections, Radiant Resilience encourages listeners to send in their own stories anonymously if they prefer. This podcast is a safe space where vulnerability is celebrated, and your struggles are not minimized.
Why share these stories? Because, in the power of storytelling, we find solace. By listening to the experiences of others, we learn that we are not alone in our challenges. Radiant Resilience believes that sharing our stories can be a beacon of hope, a source of inspiration, and a reminder that resilience takes many forms. Through tough conversations, empathy, and a shared commitment to understanding, Radiant Resilience aims to break down the walls of isolation. Join us as we explore the depths of the human experience, embracing the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Radiant Resilience - Real Conversations with Tawny Palm
66. Denise G Lee - Healing Isn’t Cute, Let's Get Real
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Tawny sits down with Denise G. Lee — a healing and leadership coach, survivor of incest and rape, and a recovering alcoholic and sexaholic — for a deep dive into the gritty reality of healing. Denise shares how trauma shaped her identity, how she sabotaged relationships and businesses before doing the work, and why true transformation means owning your part in the pain.
Together they explore complex PTSD, toxic work environments, addiction, emotional regulation, and why not all therapists (or coaches) are safe. Denise calls out the performative side of the healing industry and invites us to look inward: Is it really them, or is it us?
If you're tired of surface-level self-help and want practical, compassionate, real talk about trauma and leadership, this is your episode.
🎧 Listen in to learn:
- The difference between PTSD and complex PTSD
- Why many trauma survivors become therapists (and why that can be dangerous)
- How unhealed wounds create toxic leaders
- How to spot unsafe coaches and therapists
- The truth about addiction and the quest to feel
- Why gossip thrives in unregulated environments
- What “leading without a mask” really looks like
🎧 This episode is for you if:
You’ve been through trauma, you’re in a leadership role (or aspire to be), you’re navigating healing, or you just need to know you’re not the only one who’s epically messed things up and is still worthy of growth.
