In this episode of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change, Amanda Lentz sits down with Troy Frostad to explore resilience beyond performance, identity after diagnosis, caregiving, faith, and what happens when life forces you to confront your own mortality.

Troy is a certified executive and performance coach, a U.S. Air Force veteran, founder of Pinnacle Leadership, and a man who, five years ago, heard the words stage four colon cancer.

What followed was not only a fight for survival, but a complete transformation in how he understood strength, leadership, vulnerability, purpose, and what it truly means to keep going when life no longer looks recognizable.

Together, Amanda and Troy talk about the emotional reality of serious illness, the hidden burden caregivers carry, how resilience changes when survival becomes personal, and the way difficult experiences can uncover a deeper calling.

This conversation is for anyone navigating uncertainty, health challenges, grief, identity shifts, or seasons where life asks more of you than you ever expected to give.

Rachael Paskvan spent years as one of the only women in executive protection — protecting public figures around the globe, then leading executive travel security and large-scale event logistics at one of the world's largest tech companies. She never waited for an invitation. She just walked in.

Amanda Lentz and Jenny Blake talk about the hidden grief that comes with change, the emotional cost of career pivots, and the deeply human experience of feeling untethered during seasons of transition. Jenny shares her journey from leaving college early to work at a startup, building a successful career at Google, becoming an entrepreneur, and ultimately navigating the uncertainty and loss that came during the pandemic.

This conversation is for anyone standing at the edge of change — especially those who feel caught between gratitude and restlessness, or who are quietly questioning whether the life they built still reflects who they are becoming.
