    • Prepare your business for the unexpected: Systems, staffing, and thoughtful succession planning allowed Tammie’s company to stay afloat even during medical crises.

    • Gratitude creates momentum: Celebrating small wins, even in the midst of trauma, helped Tammie and her husband stay grounded in hope and perspective.

    • Faith fueled resilience: Spiritual grounding gave her the strength to lead through chaos and step into new purpose-driven work.
