How does facing challenges shape the people we become? Often, when we see someone’s achievements or appearance on center-stage, it’s easy for us to believe that the people who have ‘made it’ have special qualities that afforded them a seamless path to the summit of success. Yet the truth reveals something else. Flourish is a show highlighting well-known entrepreneurs, women in leadership, best-selling authors, and executives across various industries and verticals sharing their less well-known, or even hidden, stories of resilience. Join host Dr. Taryn Marie, world-renowned speaker and #1 international expert on resilience in leadership and life, as she creates safer spaces for raw and authentic voices to come through and show you how you too can effectively face challenge, change, and complexity to achieve your goals.

Making a Difference, One Cup at a Time: The Extraordinary Legacy of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
In this episode of Flourish or Fold, I’m joined by Liz Scott, co-executive director of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. Liz shares the inspiring story of her daughter, Alex, who started a lemonade stand to raise funds for her hospital which evolved into a foundation that has raised over $300 million for pediatric cancer research. Liz discusses the challenges of dealing with her daughter's illness, the importance of honesty when delivering bad news to children, and the power of small actions in making a difference. She also offers advice on dealing with difficult situations and emphasizes the importance of gratitude and seeking support.
