Grounded in the Noise with Shaun Tucker – Purpose Bigger Than Pain: Leading Through Diagnosis, Resilience, and Surrender
21 January 2026
In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I join Shaun Tucker to share my lived experience of leading through adversity. I open up about my breast cancer diagnosis, the intensity of treatment, and the defining decision I made early on: I wasn’t going anywhere. Rather than being consumed by fear, I anchored myself to purpose, my family, my partner Brett, my clients, and my commitment to contribute. We explore resilience, surrender without giving up, and what it means to stay present and grounded while navigating uncertainty.
This conversation is about leadership, mindset, and humanity, shared not from theory, but from real life.
