Lyndon's legacy

About this episode

Jacci Qinlivan shares her journey of loss and advocacy for workplace safety after the tragic death of her husband.

In episode 359, I speak with author, speaker, and workplace safety advocate, Jacci Qinlivan. Sharing from her own life, she recounts the heartbreaking story of losing her husband, her partner, best friend, and the father of their two young children to a tragic workplace incident - one which was fully preventable. This event led her into the world of widowhood at the young age of 32. In a poignant and candid conversation, she bravely opens up about her personal journey, emphasizing the universality of her experience and the importance of vigilance at all times. Her narrative serves as a catalyst for changing perspectives and fostering a culture of safety, ultimately emphasizing the paramount value of returning home to loved ones after a day's labor. It was on the verge of taking Lyndon off life-support, she vowed to him that his legacy would live on and she would make him proud. That is just what Jacci is doing as she launches her first book 'Endurance'. This is an inspiring conversation, not to be missed.
