  • The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Laura Crowley, Executive Director, Angel Eyes
    Dec 16 2025
    Laura lost her third child, Terrah, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 1994 and Angel Eyes (formerly called The Colorado SIDS Program) reached out immediately. Laura has hosted lobster dinners for over 200 guests, founded the Angel Walk (formally the Walk to Remember). In 2014, she joined the Board of Directors and moved up to the President of the Board. In May 2024, Laura transitioned to Angel Eyes as the full-time Executive Director and has been fostering relationships within the Colorado community.

    “Now that my children are grown, they too support Angel Eyes by volunteering and chairing events. It is our family’s way of honoring Terrah.”

  • The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Carrie Gusmas, President and CEO, Aslan Home Lending Corporation
    Dec 9 2025
    The lead lioness of our pride, Carrie is absolutely relentless in the protection of her people. That starts with her wonderful family: her husband, Britt, and her children Izzy and Colton. But her tribe extends to include everyone she works with – and every client she works for.

    A senior management professional with nearly 30 years of experience, Carrie is committed to the honest goal of positively affecting every life she touches, every day. She’s held to that focus while demonstrating success in aggressive company growth, P&L management, program management and team leadership. And she’s instilled that ambition as the defining ingredient of the Aslan corporate culture.

    Carrie is more than an innovative and resourceful critical thinker with a proven history of forging strong relationships. Think of her more as a persistent force of nature, a powerhouse of energy absolutely committed to advancing and protecting the lives of those under her reign. Just like any proud lioness would.

  • The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Lauren Shapiro, MD, Radiation Oncologist
    Nov 25 2025
    Lauren, a native of Madison, WI, graduated with a B.S. in Molecular Biology and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She then earned her M.D. at Stanford University, where she was awarded a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) research scholarship to study osteosarcoma at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Washington, D.C. She completed her internship at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, CA, followed by a residency in radiation oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

    After residency, Lauren joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, where she focused on thoracic radiation oncology and helped develop a spine stereotactic radiation program. In 2014, she transitioned to The Permanente Medical Group, serving as a radiation oncologist at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California and later as regional lymphoma subspecialty lead until her departure in 2023. She then joined the University of Colorado Department of Radiation Oncology, where she served on the faculty until June 2025.

    Lauren is currently pursuing additional training in palliative care while continuing to provide locum tenens radiation oncology coverage across Colorado and California. She is passionate about delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care—a commitment that is deeply personal and influenced by her experiences watching both of her parents undergo cancer treatment.

    The desire to be closer to friends and family—and a shared love of the outdoors—brought Lauren and her family to Colorado. She resides in Morrison with her husband, Anthony, a native of England who runs a consulting practice specializing in cell and gene therapies. Together they enjoy the lively company of their two children, Anna and Charlie, along with an ever-growing menagerie of pets. As a family, they love hiking, gardening, sharing tea and biscuits, and catching up on sleep whenever possible.

  • The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Karen Davis, Co-Founder & Head Dress Wrangler, Clover’s Closet
    Nov 11 2025
    Karen and her daughter Molly started Clover’s Closet in the Spring of 2019 to help girls who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go to prom because of the cost of a dress and accessories. Their first “store” was in the Outlets at Castle Rock.

    Their mission has expanded to include homecoming in the fall.

    Community members donate dresses, shoes, jewelry, make-up and more. For three weekends before homecoming and prom, girls can shop for free for one complete outfit to wear to the dance.

    Clover’s Closet also partners with Douglas County Human Services to provide clothing needs for the whole family. They are so grateful for their dedicated team of volunteers.

    Oct 21 2025
    Laura Edwards joined Sunrise Service Dogs in January of 2022 with over twelve years of experience in the assistance dog field. Her expertise lies in innovative and visionary program development, process cultivation, and maximizing resources.

    In 2012, Edwards founded Disco’s Dogs, Inc., a Colorado-based nonprofit where she served as the Executive Director, placing dogs with children on the Autism spectrum and with Intellectual Disabilities. In 2017, Disco’s Dogs merged with Freedom Service Dogs of Englewood, Colorado. At Freedom Service Dogs, Edwards served as the Director of Dog Operations, overseeing the organization’s Animal Health, Reproduction and Genetics, Puppy Development, and Training programs. Most notably, Laura was charged with solving the organization’s declining placement rate and, as a result, was instrumental in creating a purpose bred breeding program of Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers. That work raised the placement rate with clients from 9% to over 40% to benefit individuals with varying disabilities across the United States.

  • The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Claire Johnston, Executive Director, Christmas Commandos
    Oct 21 2025
    Claire Johnston is a wife, mother, and, as her husband proudly jokes, a social work entrepreneur. Claire is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified Oncology Social Worker. She is also a childhood cancer survivor herself, which propelled her work into the field of social work to help others who are navigating challenging circumstances. Claire works part-time as the Oncology Social Worker at AdventHealth Porter in Denver, is an adjunct faculty for the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver, and works on a contract basis in the field of child welfare.

    Claire is also the Executive Director of, and inspiration behind, Christmas Commandos, a nonprofit organization that provides emotional support during the holiday season to families who have experienced an out of order loss of a loved one. This support is delivered through the anonymous and secret delivery of meaningful gifts for surviving family members, which are specially shopped for, wrapped and packaged with love. These gifts are secretly delivered to the recipient family’s doorstep one evening leading up to Christmas, tagged with a note signed from the Christmas Commandos. The note shares that these gifts have been delivered in the spirit of love as a reminder that their community has not forgotten about them during an incredibly difficult time in their lives. A small angel statue in memory of their loved one is also left on their doorstep, and their front yard is decorated with holiday cheer – garlands, ornaments, and candy canes.

  • The Inspired Impact Podcast with Judy Carlson-Interview with Cindy Markham, International President, Sertoma International
    Sep 9 2025
    I grew up in Canada and moved to the United States in 1990 when my husband was transferred here with Great West Life. I was unable to work at the time and turned to volunteering in many different roles over the years. In late 2011, I learned about Sertoma while golfing, and this organization has impacted my life ever since. I was instrumental in forming the SouthGlenn Sertoma Club in 2012 and have been an active member ever since. I held many positions in my local club and served in several roles at the National level. These include Governor, Director at Large, Vice President, President Elect, and currently International President.

    I am married with two grown children living here in Colorado, and my family is incredibly supportive of all my work with Sertoma.
