The Best Bad Thing That Ever Happened: Jill Arena’s Story of Reinvention

In this episode of Stories from Under the Piano, Jill Arena shares a deeply personal and transformative story about the unexpected turn that changed her life—and ultimately set her on a path to greater success and fulfillment.

Jill, a dynamic healthcare executive, author, podcaster, and entrepreneur, takes us back to 2009 when she was fired from a business she co-founded—a cutting-edge primary care clinic designed to transform patient care. What began as a bold and innovative venture turned into an abrupt ending, leaving her reeling with shock, anger, and uncertainty.

Through heartfelt reflections, Jill walks us through the emotions of loss, fear, and indignation—and how she ultimately channeled those feelings into building Health e Practices, a thriving consulting company. Jill now helps physicians master the business side of their practices while also empowering leaders through her nonprofit initiative, the Physician Leadership Project.

Craig captures the essence of Jill’s journey in a spontaneous piano composition that mirrors the arc of excitement, despair, resilience, and triumph. It’s a story of personal growth and the unexpected gifts that emerge from life’s challenges.
