What if resilience isn't about bouncing back stronger, but instead about softening and receiving? Tara Rynders, a nurse, dancer, and CEO of The Clinic offers a fresh perspective on resilience or what she intriguingly calls (re)brilliance. Tara's unique synthesis of arts, music, movement, and caring science for healthcare professionals is deeply transformative, and in this episode we explore why Tara firmly believes in the healing power of movement. 

We also discuss the major challenges to systemic changes in healthcare, including inequitable pay and the dangerous trend of prioritizing money over people.  Drawing on her personal experiences as a nurse dealing with secondary trauma and grief, Tara sheds light on the healing potential of healthcare systems and institutions. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that invites you to reflect, reimagine, and recognize the brilliance within you.

Tara Rynders is a dancer, a registered nurse, and an advanced certified grief recovery specialist. She is the founder and associate artistic director of The Clinic, where they  strive to create a safe, communal space for artists, nurses, patients, and the community to commune together through the arts; based on the belief that the arts bring healing into the hospital and that this leads to better patient outcomes in the hospital setting, decreased compassion fatigue, and decreased nursing burn-out.

You can learn more about The Clinic on their website.
