From the Battlefield to the Boardroom — Redefining Resilience

In this opening segment, Rick Medlen joins Conroy Browne to unpack how mental toughness forged in high-stakes environments translates into modern leadership.

Together, they explore the mindset shifts that separate those who merely endure from those who evolve and why clarity, not control, is the real foundation of resilience.

🌿 From Survival to Strength — The Energy Behind Resilience

In this revealing conversation, Katrina Foe joins Conroy Browne to explore how healing begins when we stop pushing through and start tuning in.

Together, they unpack the emotional and physiological cost of chronic resilience — and how learning to listen deeper can transform both personal health and professional performance.

🌿 Resilience Through Connection — The Energy of Empathy

In this insightful conversation, Charity Hagains, MA, LPC-S, Co-Founder of Noyau Wellness Center, joins Conroy Browne to explore how empathy, environment, and energetic balance shape the health of therapists, leaders, and caregivers.

Together, they reveal how the weight of constant emotional attunement can drain even the most resilient professionals — and how restoring energetic balance begins with awareness, environment, and self-connection.

From decades of clinical experience, Charity shares how sustainable empathy requires both structure and self-care — and why true resilience isn’t about absorbing pain but learning to stay connected without depletion.

🌍 Adaptability Through Humanity — The Discipline of Change

In this powerful conversation, Shakir Husain, Founder & CEO of Creative Chaos, sits down with Conroy Browne to explore how adaptability, humility, and human connection define the future of leadership.

From building one of Pakistan’s leading innovation houses to leading global teams across cultures and time zones, Shakir reveals the quiet discipline behind lasting progress — and why success, at its core, always comes down to people.

He reflects on decades of entrepreneurship, from “being young and dumb with a lot of optimism” to learning that empathy, curiosity, and teachability can’t be taught — they must be lived. Shakir shares how reflection and self-critique became his compass, and why leadership now demands both tougher skin and gentler hearts.

Ultimately, he reminds us that creativity flourishes not despite friction, but because of it — and that the next generation of leaders will need to master the same paradox: stay grounded in humanity while evolving through constant change.

🌟 Restoring Dignity — Answering the Knock of Purpose

In this powerful exchange, Lisa J. Blanchard, Founder and Executive Director of The Grateful Garment Project, joins Conroy Browne to explore how purpose, dignity, and courage intersect in the aftermath of trauma.

Lisa recounts how a chance encounter — on a day marked by personal grief — ignited her life’s mission: to restore dignity to survivors of sexual violence by ensuring they never go home in paper gowns again.  

What began as a simple class project has grown into a statewide network supporting over 34,000 survivors a year, driven entirely by volunteers and donor kindness.

Together, Conroy and Lisa dive into the emotional weight of bearing witness to such stories ... and the resilience required to keep showing up. Lisa reflects on how denial runs deep, even in those doing the healing work, and how communication and community become the most powerful antidotes to shame.

This conversation reveals what it means to “answer the knock” when the universe calls...  to turn pain into purpose, service, and ultimately, transformation.
