In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Radiant Resilience, Tawny speaks with Andrew Davie—educator, writer, and brain aneurysm survivor. In 2018, Andrew’s life changed in an instant when he collapsed in an airport from a ruptured brain aneurysm. Against all odds, he survived with minimal physical impairments, but the emotional and cognitive aftermath would lead him on an entirely new path.
Andrew shares his raw, insightful journey through recovery, identity loss, and reinvention. From caregiving for his mother with ALS to redefining fulfillment beyond traditional norms, he offers a refreshing perspective on embracing life’s detours with purpose and presence. This episode is a beautiful testament to resilience, post-traumatic growth, and finding peace in the unknown.
📚 Andrew is the author of The Second Act and several works of crime fiction. He now works in mental health counseling and consults on brain injury awareness.
