Theresa Corazon, TV producer turned entrepreneur, was at the peak of her career when everything changed.

She woke up days after Easter Sunday with frontal lobe brain trauma, eight broken ribs, a hand that nearly required amputation, and no memory of what had happened. She would spend eight months across five hospitals. Christmas, New Year's, and her birthday, alone, during COVID, with a rosary in her hand and her mother on the phone every single night.

Rebuilding everything for the next 5 years: the ability to walk, talk, read, and even breathe without complication.

In this episode, Kelly sits down with Theresa for one of the most powerful, raw, and faith-filled conversations where she and Theresa dig deep into the anger, the depression, the dark night of the soul, the surrender, and the framework she built from the rubble of her recovery to help others find their way back when everything has been stripped away.

This episode is not about business strategy. It is about what holds you when strategy is not enough. It is about faith, resilience, and what becomes possible when you stop asking why and start asking how you can be used.
