03-23-26 Using Defiance to Build Resilience in Life’s Hardest Moments with Julia Fox Garrison
What if the very things you wish never happened… were actually shaping something beautiful?
This week on Look for the Good, I’m joined by Julia Fox Garrison—award-winning, bestselling author and speaker—who truly embodies what it means to turn lemons into lemonade.
After a massive stroke left her without function on one side of her body—and a later battle with cancer—Julia didn’t just survive… she found a way to thrive.
And how she did it will stay with you long after you listen:
- You’ll hear how she describes defiance as a form of resilience
- How one powerful sentence helped her reframe cancer—and changed everything
- And why the words you speak (to yourself especially) matter more than you think
If you’ve ever felt stuck in regret, weighed down by “should-haves,” or caught in a loop of negative stories… this episode will help you shift your perspective and start living your best life now.
This is one of those conversations that gives you goosebumps—and leaves you deeply grateful for the little things we often take for granted.

BIO: Julia Fox Garrison grew up in in a loving, if chaotic, household with eight brothers—an upbringing that no doubt made her battle-ready for the fight of her life. At the age of 37, while busy raising a family and building a career, her plans and dreams were changed forever by a sudden and severe stroke.
Thus, Julia began a journey of recovery, rediscovery, and reinvention. Out of adversity came an accomplished author, dedicated healthcare advocate, and powerful motivational speaker.
To this day, she continues to overcome the effects of her stroke while sharing her message of patient-based healthcare and humanity-based business through her writings, talks, and presentations.
“A stroke (literally) of luck helped define the essence of her life. Her inspirational story can help us find ours.” —Dr. Oz
Wielding her trademark humor, unwavering optimism, and the wisdom of firsthand experience, Julia challenges her audience to take on the perspective of those they serve and lead.
