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.

Radiant Resilience - Real Conversations with Tawny Palm
86. Sue McCreadie, MD - Physician of the Soul: Midlife Hormones, Healing, and Coming Home to You
Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end—it can be the beginning of you. In this powerful conversation, Tawny sits down with Dr. Sue McCreadie, holistic pediatrician turned midlife transformation coach, to talk about the messy, magical middle: hormones, identity shifts, and the healing that happens when we finally get still enough to hear ourselves.
Dr. Sue shares her “breadcrumbs” journey—from pediatrics and alternative medicine to becoming what she calls a physician of the soul—and why midlife can feel like a second adolescence: uncomfortable in your body, unsure of who you are, and craving a new kind of truth. Together, they unpack why “midlife crisis” often points to unhealed childhood wounds, how our triggers can be mirrors, and what it really takes to move from survival mode into peace.
Dr. Sue also opens up about her fertility journey, miscarriage loss, and the profound lessons that shaped both her healing and her work. If you’re navigating perimenopause/menopause, grief, identity shifts, or simply feel like you’re being called to more—this episode is your reminder: you’re not broken… you’re becoming.
