Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the Resilient Now Podcast with Liliana Brown

Meet Angie Bailey. After 32 years as an OR nurse, mom, and caregiver, Angie Bailey was used to pushing through exhaustion and always showing up for others. But when her body could no longer keep up, she hit a wall—struggling with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and the symptoms of Hashimoto’s disease. Her main doctor dismissed her concerns and wanted to prescribe antidepressants, but thankfully Angie sought out a functional medicine doctor who tested her thyroid and gave her real answers. With the right care, thyroid treatment, supplements, and major lifestyle changes, she began her path to healing.

One prescription stood out: do something just for yourself. For Angie, that became calligraphy. What began as quiet moments of dipping pen in ink turned into a meditative practice that calmed the noise, restored her focus, and helped her reclaim balance. Now retired from nursing, Angie teaches calligraphy to medical professionals, corporations, and anyone seeking calm in the chaos.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that resilience isn’t just about pushing through—it’s also about giving yourself permission to pause, breathe, and heal.
