In this episode, Krista Hollingsworth from@haveashotoffreedomwhiskeyc6961 reveals the raw, uncomfortable process of transforming tragedy into service, offering a blueprint for leadership that neither ignores pain nor lets it define the limits of what’s possible.
At the intersection of grief and growth, she shows us that true impact is forged through vulnerability, unwavering connection, and refusing to shy away from the hardest stories.
