Brilliant Resilient Club Podcast
The Brilliant Resilient Club is a podcast dedicated to people who push past their physical comfort zone to gain mental resilience. Host Bhavani Vadde speaks to some amazing individuals who’re dealing with some big challenges - trauma, loss, illness - but rather than be defeated, challenged themselves something physical and as a result now feel better than ever. She came up with the idea when she took up up cold water swimming after having to stop work as a TV reporter during the pandemic because of an auto-immune condition. And despite hating exercise all her life, this helped her not only cope but thrive during some difficult times. In this podcast, she explores why and how other people take to the physical to deal with what life throws up.
