She Divorced Him Twice. Then Built an Empire.

Francesca Pilato did not do what she was told. Not once. Not ever. And in 1929 Rochester, New York, that came with consequences no one in her family would talk about for generations. This week, your host Suzy Welch finishes the 123-year story of her grandmother — a Sicilian immigrant who survived the unthinkable, built something extraordinary, and left behind a yellow dress that sat untouched on a shelf for 30 years. The question is: why wouldn't Suzy wear it? The answer has everything to do with two values — not virtues — of Voice and Agency. And the difference between judging the people who shaped you and finally having the compassion to let them be exactly who they were. Part 2 of 2. The scandal lands. The survival begins. And a dress finds its way home. 📚 Read Suzy’s latest book, Becoming You https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-You-P... 🌐 Visit Suzy’s website https://www.suzywelch.com 📸 Follow Suzy on Instagram   / suzywelch   💼 Connect on LinkedIn   / suzywelch
