Meet Jan Taylor
From Wreckage to Wings
Jan Taylor is the CEO and Host of the Butterflies-Win podcast, a Global Herbal Wellness Enthusiast, a Survivor- Thriver, a woman whom unapologetically adores Our God- Our Father. She wholeheartedly believes God preserved her so she could become a Global Shining Light. Her International presence started from a personal – educational achievement; the only African American female to live & study abroad in Rajasthan India.
She was one of 300 applicants from a 5k pool of applicants chosen for that geographical region.
Almost immediately after returning to the United States, the wreckages started coming – one medical crisis after another. God made it clear to her that her LIGHT would SHINE in the midst of her turmoil. Also, He was not just going to heal her body, He would redefine her assignment and re-route her steps.
Jan’s life embodies a butterfly’s creation. The transformation of a caterpillar happens in darkness- hidden- wrapped- under pressure- uncertainty. When God is ready ,it burst thru with exuberant bold colors and unmatchable strength. It rises with WINGS. This metaphoric relation between Jan’s stories (ups/downs & ins/outs) and the creation/existence of a butterfly, this sacred meaningful moment brought about a profound visual that was showered upon her by a dear lifelong friend, WES…. the rest is history. This podcast’s name became a reality, a Healing Movement & Infrastructure.
Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven.”
The Cocoon to Butterfly Journey
Every butterfly must first endure the darkness of the cocoon. Jan’s journey through trauma, illness, and recovery mirrors this sacred transformation.
The Break-Through
Severe injury, paralysis, and a life forever changed. What seemed like an ending was only the beginning of transformation.
The Battle
Cancer, surgeries, and the fight for survival. Through it all, faith remained the anchor that held steady.
The Becoming
Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual realignment. Learning to embrace scars as wings and rise into a new life.
The Blessing
A village of support, God's unwavering presence, and a calling to help others find their own transformation.
A Story of Survival & Faith
Jan’s story is not one of ease — it is one of triumph. After a devastating accident that left her facing paralysis, she began a journey that would test every fiber of her being. The physical pain was immense, but it was only the beginning.
Cancer followed, bringing with it surgeries, treatments, and moments of profound uncertainty. Yet through every dark night, Jan found her anchor in God. Her faith didn’t just survive the storm — it became the very thing that carried her through.
“God didn’t remove the storm. He became my shelter within it. And when I emerged, I understood that my scars weren’t signs of weakness — they were my wings.”
— Jan Taylor
The village of support — family, friends, medical professionals, and fellow believers — played an irreplaceable role in Jan’s healing. This taught her the profound truth at the heart of Butterflies-Win: we heal best in community.
Today, Jan channels everything she has learned — the medical knowledge, the holistic approaches, the herbal wisdom, and above all, the power of faith and community — into creating spaces where others can find their own transformation.
This Is More Than a Podcast
A sanctuary where the broken find belonging. Where trauma transforms into testimony. Where every scar becomes a wing, and every butterfly — no matter how damaged — can rise.
