Beth McDonough covered murders, bridge collapses, kidnappings, and riots. For thirty years she took viewers behind the crime scene tape. Her life ran on achievement, adrenaline, and alcohol.
She reported from ground zero on 9/11, stood in the field the day Jayme Closs escaped her captor, broke the news of Prince's death from Paisley Park, and was wounded covering the riots after George Floyd's murder, camera still rolling.
Still Standing takes readers there. Then to a place harder to witness: the story she lived while telling everyone else's.
Two DUI arrests. Her mugshots on the news she used to report. A career at ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX: gone. The woman who covered disasters was now living one.
What followed wasn't a comeback. It was harder, and more permanent.
Beth investigated her own breakdown the way she'd investigated every story before it, and finally asked: "What separates the people who rebuild after crisis from the people who repeat?"
Years of probing that question became the STILL STANDING™ Framework: five structural beams, built from rubble, tested by time.
Beth was featured in a Lifetime documentary "Smart Justice: the Jayme Closs Case." She's an Emmy, national Murrow, and duPont-Columbia Award-winning journalist.
