In this deeply moving and powerful episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and workplace safety advocate, Jacci Quinlivan, for a conversation that will stay with you long after it ends.
At just 32 years old, Jacci’s life changed forever when she lost her husband Lyndon—her partner, best friend, and the father of their two young children—in a tragic workplace incident that was entirely preventable. In an instant, she was thrust into a reality no one is ever prepared for: navigating grief, loss, and widowhood while raising a young family.
With remarkable courage and honesty, Jacci opens up about that devastating time in her life. She shares the heartbreak of standing beside Lyndon as he was taken off life support, and the promise she made in that moment—that his legacy would live on, and that she would make him proud.
And she has done exactly that.
Through her advocacy, Jacci is transforming unimaginable pain into purpose. Her story is not just her own—it’s a powerful reminder of how quickly life can change, and why safety in the workplace must never be taken for granted. Her message is clear and urgent: every person deserves to return home safely to the people who love them.
Jacci’s newly released book, Endurance, is a testament to resilience, strength, and the human spirit’s capacity to rise, even in the face of profound loss.
