72: The Art of Asking Better Questions with Brianna Greenspan: Resilience, Neuroscience, and Healing

In today's powerful episode of The Inner Golden Hour, I sat down with someone who has shaped thousands of conversations, supported countless people through their darkest moments, and built her life around resilience, intentionality, and the power of better questions.

My guest is Brianna Greenspan – resilient strategist, wellness educator, chronic illness advocate, and co-author of the brand-new Book of Questions: Living with Chronic Illness, a transformative guide featuring 111 intentional questions that help people release emotional weight, shift long-held narratives, and rebuild inner safety.

This conversation goes deep…

We talk about the moment Bri hit rock bottom after a failed spinal surgery, the heartbreaking loss of a close friend, the therapist who confronted her for "manifesting failure," and the single question that became the catalyst for her entire healing journey.

Whether you live with chronic illness or not, this episode will reshape how you think about your inner dialogue, your resilience, your emotional patterns, and the way you speak to yourself when life gets hard.

This is one of the most important conversations we have had on the show.

Especially for working moms who carry emotional load, burnout, guilt, invisible weight, and identity struggle.

If you've been looking for healing, clarity, or a new way forward… this episode is your invitation.

• How a failed spinal surgery and a moment of hopelessness pushed Bri to ask the one question that saved her life • The traumatic loss of a friend that cracked her open and sparked her healing journey • The therapist who exposed how her inner dialogue was "manifesting failure" before anything even began • The role of intentional questioning in resilience, healing, and identity reconstruction • A deep dive into the four Daily Questions from her book and how they help cultivate internal safety • How she navigates chronic pain using real-life tools, systems, and her "Brie bag" setup • Why celebrating tiny wins can rewire your brain and rebuild self trust • The emotional weight, shame, and isolation hidden inside chronic illness • Why being vulnerable feels safer with someone "illness-adjacent" rather than loved ones • How the 111 questions in her new book help release trauma, shift mental patterns, and rebuild a healthier inner narrative • Where trauma hides in the body and how questioning softens its grip • What resilience actually means beyond mindset or motivation • How to stop defaulting into survival mode and start leading from your identity

Her book features 111 questions that disrupt old narratives and help you meet yourself in a deeper, more compassionate way.

Not fluffy journal prompts.

Not Pinterest-ready affirmations.

Real, confronting, liberating questions that help you rewrite your internal reality.

If you have been carrying a lot on your shoulders…

If life has felt heavy…

If you've been overthinking, overwhelmed, or emotionally squeezed…

This episode will feel like someone turning on a light inside of you.

P.S. This week's episode of The Inner Golden Hour took me right back to 2020 and 2021. Back to those wild Clubhouse mornings when the world was upside down and somehow hundreds of us found each other at 5am and created this tiny pocket of safety, connection, and deep reflection.
