"What does grit really mean when life knocks you down—again and again? In this powerful and deeply human episode, CJ sits down with Amberly Lago—bestselling author of Joy Through the Journey, international speaker, and founder of The Unstoppable Life Mastermind—to talk about resilience, joy, and the strength that comes from authentic connection.
After surviving extraordinary trauma, including 34 surgeries following a devastating motorcycle accident, Amberly rebuilt her life by redefining grit—not as pushing harder, but as staying connected, present, and purpose-driven. She shares how community, vulnerability, and her P.A.C.E.R. Method helped her transform pain into impact and build a global platform rooted in truth and hope.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going without losing yourself—or how to create success without sacrificing joy—this conversation will remind you that resilience isn’t about doing it alone. It’s about how you choose to rise."
