What happens when your entire world changes overnight?

In this profound and moving episode, Julie Brown shares how she found the strength to rebuild her life and leadership practice after the tragic loss of her husband and business partner, polar explorer Dixie Dansercoer.

Drawing on her new book, Discover Your Pivot: How Strong Leaders Can Adapt to Any Situation, Julie reveals how leaders can find stability in uncertainty — not by resisting change, but by learning how to pivot with purpose.

Together, we explore:

• Why pivoting is better than managing change
• How collaboration and teamwork sustain resilience
• Why strong leaders need a suitcase of options
• How to "innovate" grief and find meaning in adversity
• Why challenge is a privilege
• And why attention may be a leader’s most powerful skill

This conversation is about grief, resilience, and hope — and what it really means to lead when life takes an unexpected turn.
