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.
Your story matters, and by sharing it, you contribute to a world where compassion and understanding flourish. Tune in to Radiant Resilience, because we all have a story to tell, and in our stories, we find strength.

80. Andrew-Ryan Profaci - Surviving “Mother God”: Escaping the Love Has Won Cult
In this gripping and deeply human episode of Radiant Resilience, Tawny sits down with Andrew-Ryan Profaci — author of The War on Love — to share his shocking yet redemptive journey from trauma and manipulation to freedom and healing.
Andrew’s story spans from growing up in a family with deep Mafia roots to surviving a fatal car crash, spiritual seeking, addiction, and ultimately being drawn into the infamous Love Has Won cult — where his ex-partner, Amy Carlson, was worshiped as “Mother God.”
Together, Tawny and Andrew unpack how spiritual curiosity can turn into control, how charisma can hide deep wounds, and what it truly takes to reclaim your identity and peace after psychological abuse and betrayal. Andrew also opens up about his later battle with cancer, what finally set him free, and the power of authenticity and self-love on the path to rebuilding.
This is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t linear, resilience is real, and authenticity is the truest freedom.
