In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with Athena Brownson — a former professional skier turned top Colorado real estate agent — whose story of resilience and reinvention will leave you inspired. After enduring nine knee surgeries, two neck operations, and a battle with chronic Lyme disease, Athena refused to let pain define her. Instead, she turned adversity into fuel, building a thriving business and a powerful platform dedicated to mindset, health, and authentic success. Athena opens up about:

How to turn life’s toughest setbacks into stepping stones for growth.
The mindset shifts that separate top performers from the rest.
Balancing ambition, health, and purpose while building a career you love.
The power of mentorship and authenticity in business and life.

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t about avoiding challenges — it’s about transforming through them. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or someone in a comeback season, Athena’s story will reignite your belief that you can rebuild stronger than before.
