Caroline Kiunga, Global Humanitarian Relief Director at UPS,
Series 1, Episode 2
What if your most painful moment became your purpose?
Caroline Wanjiru Kiunga-Kihusa didn’t set out to lead change - she lived through it. When she lost her daughter at 20 weeks, she didn’t find a support system. She built one. Still a Mum now supports over 8,000 bereaved parents across East Africa.
Her story isn’t just about loss - it’s about what came next.
💥 She pivoted from tech to humanitarian work.
💥 She moved countries without a safety net.
💥 She launched a podcast with just her phone.
💥 She self-learned her way into global social impact.
Her version of courage? Starting before she’s ready.
“You cannot improve what you don’t start.”
Caroline reminds us: bold doesn’t have to be loud. And reinvention isn’t a moment - it’s a mindset.
This is part of a powerful new collaboration between Unstoppable by Design and Women In Change - where we’re sharing the stories of women who’ve turned their turning points into launchpads. The podcast host, Julie Tague, is a strategist and career action coach helping women reclaim energy, clarity and courage to reinvent their careers and lead with purpose.
If you’ve made a pivot - or are in the thick of one - let’s show the world what real reinvention looks like. 🔥
