At fifteen, on her first day off from her first job, she was abducted and brutally assaulted for ten hours by members of a notorious gang, an ordeal she describes as a death of sorts, one she returned from changed at the level of the soul. There was no support system waiting for her afterward, no framework in the early '80s for how to help a fifteen-year-old carry something so enormous. So she built her own framework instead, spending decades in corporate leadership, consulting, and coaching, all while quietly carrying the weight of what had happened to her.Then, in 2018, at the height of a thriving global coaching career, Sally was publicly and viciously character-assassinated, a campaign that went as far as CNN, Fox News, and BBC World, and that centered in part on a sacred moko she'd received within her husband's Māori family. She stepped back from public life for seven and a half years. During that time, her husband Roger suffered a series of medical crises before dying suddenly, just before New Zealand's COVID lockdowns, in a loss Sally describes as unlike any grief she'd known before, despite having already lost siblings, parents, and friends.Around the table, Bridget, Steve, and Sally move through forgiveness, faith, cancel culture, and what Sally calls the difference between "doing leadership" and "being leadership." She talks about legacy not as what we leave behind when we die, but as the innate calling each of us carries, and about her own: alchemizing pain into purpose, and using her story to give language and courage to others living through their own silent devastation.This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered whether it's possible to come back from the unthinkable, and what it might look like to let that experience become a gift to someone else.Pull up a chair. This is a story about a woman who should not, by any reasonable measure, still be here, and about what she chose to build with the life she refused to let go of.BIOSally Anderson serves as ‘exclusive strategic counsel’ to the world’s elite leaders, visionaries, high level influencers – those who refuse to settle for mere success but instead demand ascension, transcendence and incomparable legacy-defining impact! Forged from the full spectrum of human devastation, she carries an authority that cannot be credentialed or replicated. After 37 years working with the exceptional leaders, her proprietary methodology, Equanimity and Co-Creative Leadership Mastery, moves leaders from the 3D analytical realm into the limitless 5D co-creative, where the impossible becomes their new standard.She is also the author of 3 books:Beyond Brave: The Art of Courageous Living - https://www.kmdbooks.com/beyondbraveFreefall: Living Life Beyond The Edge - https://amzn.asia/d/0fUe50HcThe Co-Creative Age: The Next Evolutionary Phase in Leadership - https://amzn.asia/d/0ihFggzpYouTube: @StoriesAcrossTheTable https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHPeekMqKYjBAwO28gLSvRABridget’s Free Community - Inspired Writers Clubhouse for Writers and Authors: https://www.inspiredwritersclubhouse.comBridget’s Free Newsletter: https://www.yourinspiredstory.com/newsletter Steve’s Free Community: https://www.skool.com/steve-ramona-community-9836Steve’s Free Newsletter: https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramonaSteve’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona/’Bridget’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbridgetcookburch/  Steve’s X/Twitter: https://x.com/oppbrokerBridget’s X/Twitter: @inspiritwriter Steve’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizopportunitynow/Bridget’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetcookburch/ Substack: https://p...
