Today’s episode is personal. On my son Joe’s birthday, I reflect on the question that’s shaped my life: Who are you becoming through adversity?

Adversity doesn’t wait for permission—it strips away everything except the truth of who we are. When I lost Joe, I was faced with that truth. And in the middle of heartbreak, I heard a quiet whisper: You’re not done.

In this episode, I share how love, leadership, and legacy are built in life’s hardest moments. If you’re walking through grief, transition, or challenge, this is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you’re not finished.

In honor of Joe’s heart for serving others, you’ll find a link in the show notes if you’d like to support the Louisville Coalition for the Homeless, where he dedicated his work and compassion. Donate Here: https://louhomeless.org/how-you-can-help/makeagift/

It’s easy to take ownership when things fall apart, but what about when everything goes right? In this episode of The Unstoppable Trifecta, Julia explores one of the most overlooked tests of leadership: how we handle success.
