The podcast episode of Get Your Fill: Financial Independence and Long Life, hosted by Christine McCarron, features a heartfelt, inspiring conversation with Athena Brownson, a Denver-based real estate agent, emerging developer, former professional freestyle skier, and someone who has navigated severe chronic illness (primarily Lyme disease and related autoimmune conditions) for about 9 years. The discussion centers on personal resilience, mindset shifts, habit formation, and turning adversity into growth — with real estate serving as a steady anchor throughout her journey. The tone is warm, vulnerable, and motivational, blending life lessons from athletics, illness, and professional success.
