5/5/202651 min
What does it take to survive the unthinkable and then transform because of it?
In this powerful episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro sit down with Carol Murray, a woman whose life changed in an instant after a catastrophic skydiving accident left her free-falling over half a mile when both her main and backup parachutes failed. Her story was featured in the Toronto Star. The impact caused devastating injuries and years of recovery, but that’s only the beginning of her story. She talks about her near-death experience and what she has become because of it.
Today, Carol is known as “The Resilience Architect,” a sought-after keynote speaker helping individuals and organizations navigate adversity, lead under pressure, and perform at their highest level when it matters most.
Drawing from her extraordinary journey and a career raising over $50 million for medical research, social services, and community organizations across North America, Carol shares the three pillars that define true resilience: Community, Values, and Perspective.
This conversation goes beyond survival—it’s about rebuilding, redefining fear, and stepping into strength with intention. Carol’s story will challenge the way you think about setbacks, leadership, and what it really means to rise after life knocks you down.
If you’ve ever faced adversity, questioned your strength, or needed a reminder of what’s possible, this episode is for you.
