Grief has a way of rewriting what matters.

Erica Brinker rose into global brand leadership at companies including Honeywell, then lost her infant son Luca, changing her life trajectory entirely.

In this conversation, she talks about carrying grief while still being the one who holds everything together, why she stopped chasing the next title, and how she left executive life to build her podcast At the Brink.

She also gets practical about the leap itself: researching before you quit, using legacy as a filter for decisions, and moving through pain with intention.
