    This episode originally aired in October 2024 and is especially relevant as communities respond to recent natural disasters.

    When disasters strike, many of us want to help—but knowing how to help effectively can make all the difference. In this episode, I share practical and meaningful ways to support disaster relief efforts, from donating and volunteering to finding trusted organizations that are making a real impact on the ground.

    One of the key takeaways from this conversation is the importance of offering help in a coordinated and thoughtful way. By working through reputable nonprofits and disaster relief organizations, your time, money, and efforts can go further and truly meet the needs of those affected.

    If you’re looking for ways to give back after a natural disaster like hurricanes, earthquakes, or flooding…this episode will help you take action with confidence and purpose. Every act of service—no matter how small—can help families and communities begin to rebuild and heal.

    This episode originally aired in January 2024 and features an inspiring conversation with Tiffany Larson, CEO of Days for Girls International—a global nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls through menstrual health education and sustainable resources.

    Days for Girls International works around the world to break the stigma surrounding menstruation by providing reusable period kits and vital health education. In this episode, Tiffany shares the powerful origin story of the organization, how their patented kits are changing lives, and the lasting impact of combining education with access to essential resources.

    You’ll also hear meaningful, real-life stories that illustrate how Days for Girls is helping women and girls stay in school, gain confidence, and overcome cultural barriers related to menstruation.

    I was first introduced to Days for Girls years ago while volunteering to help assemble their kits, and it was an eye-opening experience that deepened my understanding of global needs. This conversation is both educational and uplifting—and a reminder of how the good work nonprofits do can truly create lasting change.
