Life doesn't give you anything you can't handle. I think it's just a matter of figuring out how to handle it.
What happens when life throws you an unexpected curveball? For Mariah Morgan, a traumatic brain injury became a turning point that reshaped her entire world. In this episode of The Now What Society, hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with Mariah to uncover how she turned adversity into an opportunity for growth and impact. Mariah, the founder of Stout Heart, a marketing agency dedicated to mission-driven businesses, shares her inspiring story of resilience and reinvention.
Before launching her agency, she spent over a decade in the advertising industry, working with brands big and small. But it was her brain injury that truly transformed her perspective and career path. As a mother, runner, foodie, and co-host of the Making Headway podcast, Mariah wears many hats. She discusses the physical and cognitive challenges of her injury and the long road to recovery.
Her journey is a testament to the power of self-compassion and the importance of aligning your work with your values. Through her agency, Mariah partners with brands that are making a positive impact in the world, using her experience to help other entrepreneurs succeed. One of the key takeaways from this conversation is the critical role of self-talk in recovery. Mariah emphasizes being kind to yourself, celebrating small victories, and turning negative thoughts into learning opportunities.
She also highlights the invaluable support from others who have faced similar challenges. This sense of community inspired her to start the Making Headway podcast, creating a space for brain injury survivors and their loved ones to connect and share resources. Mariah's story is a powerful reminder that resilience isn't innate; it's built through experience and practice. Whether you're navigating recovery from an injury, facing life's hurdles, or seeking a more purposeful existence, her journey offers hope and practical insights.
