In this informative and inspiring episode, I sat down with Jenna Ghisolfo, Founder and CEO of Housing Consultants of America. At just 17 years old, Jenna found herself trapped in an abusive relationship. With a baby in her arms and nowhere to go, one chance encounter led her to the only path forward at that time, which was through a Section 8 housing voucher. This brave step to leave her relationship allowed Jenna to rebuild her life. She returned to school, earned her degree, and began a career in affordable housing as a way to give back to the community that once gave her a second chance.

Seven years ago, Jenna founded Housing Consultants of America, a national company dedicated to housing individuals experiencing homelessness, veterans, and people with disabilities. Together, we explore real solutions to homelessness, the life-changing impact of housing for the vulnerable, and how advocacy and community can transform lives.

Topics include:

•Recognizing and escaping domestic abuse
•The life-changing impact of affordable housing
•Support and resources for domestic abuse survivors
•Advocacy for affordable housing in the U.S.
•Breaking the stigma around homelessness
•The power of resilience, courage, and community for life transformation

If you need help or know someone that does, please reach out to Jenna's company or share these resources with someone you care about.❤️

Imagine waking up after a month in a coma only to discover that everything you had worked for - and the future you had planned - was gone! In this powerful and deeply moving episode on the Grief Talk Podcast, I had the honour of speaking with Kijuan Amey. A blind U.S. Air Force veteran, mentor, coach, motivational speaker, Wounded Warrior ambassador, and the author of his new book, "Don’t Focus on Why Me: From Motorcycle Accident to Miracle".

At just 25 years old, Kijuan’s life was changed forever after a tragic motorcycle accident in 2017 left him blind. Waking up in the hospital after a month-long coma motionless, unable to speak or see, Kijuan shares what most people would consider the unimaginable challenge of rebuilding his life from the ground up.

With his grit, humour, faith, and relentless determination, Kijuan not only describes how he confronted the pain daily, but transformed his tragedy into a story of triumph and resilience to now help others feel hopeful and inspired!

In this conversation, Kijuan candidly discusses:

•His shock and panic of waking up blind.
•The gruelling physical, mental, and spiritual healing process.
•How resilience, support, humour and faith guided him through despair and depression.
•The wisdom and strength he’s gained and how he inspires others to rise above their own struggles.
As a bereaved mom for twenty years, I was profoundly moved by Kijuan’s courage and determination. His story is not just about survival but serves as a beacon of hope to help anyone find purpose in the pain and inspiration from the struggle to let their light shine bright and live again!

Megan reveals how dance can be a path to self-discovery, healing and personal growth—especially for those navigating grief, loss, or physical rigidity.🌿

Through breath work, visualization, and music, she helps people unlock deeper movement experiences. Megan also creates unique offerings on her YouTube channel, from one-minute dance expressions to longer dance adventure journeys that invite participants to reconnect with their bodies and emotions.

We also discuss how movement can be practiced anywhere—even in the smallest spaces, as Megan shares her personal journey and the lessons she's learned adapting her dance practice to tiny home living.

This conversation is a reminder that movement isn’t just physical—it’s medicine for the soul.🕊️ It is suited to those who love dance or want to move their body more through creative self-expression.
