    "I was going to break my promise to my dad that I would take care of my family… and that's when I told myself, 'D.T., I'm not going to die here.'" In this powerful episode of Celebrate Your Story, I sit down with Senior Master Sergeant Israel Del Toro, a true American hero. From a childhood marked by hardship and the loss of both parents at a young age to becoming a decorated Air Force special warfare operator, DT's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. He shares the harrowing day in Afghanistan when a roadside bomb left him with burns over 80 percent of his body, a 15 percent chance of survival, and an uncertain future. But what followed defied all odds. DT not only survived, he walked out of the hospital, re-enlisted as the first 100 percent disabled airman in U.S. history, and went on to inspire thousands through public speaking, Paralympic sports, and mentorship.

    She Built a $1.5M Movement From Her Kitchen Table | with Hali Lee

    In this week's Celebrate Your Story, I'm thrilled to hand the mic to my colleague, MiChaela Barker, for a conversation with Hali Lee, a remarkable philanthropist, author, and the founder of the Asian Women Giving Circle. Through her dynamic storytelling and rich cultural perspective, Hali shares how growing up as a Korean American in Kansas City and learning from generations of strong women shaped her commitment to community, generosity, and justice. Hali Lee is a seasoned nonprofit leader and a pioneer in the giving circle movement. As the founder of the Asian Women Giving Circle, she has helped raise and distribute over $1.5 million to support Asian American women, girls, and gender-expansive artists in New York City. Her debut book, The Big We, published by Sweet July Books, challenges top-down philanthropy and invites readers to embrace collective care, mutual aid, and everyday activism. Hali and MiChaela discuss the power of giving circles, the legacy of kitchen-table activism, and the urgent need to shift from a mindset of “me” to “we.” From her grandmother's quiet resistance in colonial Korea to her mother-in-law flipping a local election at 93, Hali draws a powerful throughline between personal story and civic impact. She reminds us that meaningful change doesn't require wealth or fame; it just requires community, intention, and the courage to act.

We also dive into: The early dreams she let go of and the new ones that took their place  How she balances motherhood, marriage, and the high demands of sports broadcasting  Her journey of faith, from small-town churches to rediscovering purpose through loss The “sideline shimmy” that became both her anxiety outlet and her signature move  At its heart, Lauren's story is about resilience, identity, and what it means to show up fully, honestly, and with faith, no matter what life brings.

    One of the First 100 Women to FLY a BLACK HAWK | with Elizabeth McCormick

    Before she wore a flight suit, she was working in a pizza shop with a degree she couldn't use. In this episode, retired U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot Elizabeth McCormick shares how she went from unexpected career detours to becoming one of the first 100 women to fly the Black Hawk helicopter in the Army. She opens up about what it took to survive Warrant Officer Candidate School, where women had to meet the same physical standards as men. Running in boots, carrying gear, and enduring grueling training whittled seven women down to just two. But the biggest battle was the mental one. As the only woman in her flight school class, Elizabeth faced open hostility from a biased instructor who tried to make her fail, but she refused to quit. Instead, she took the controls and rewrote the script, both in the cockpit and in her life. Now a disabled veteran and sought-after motivational speaker, Elizabeth has built a thriving career helping others tap into their potential. She shares how her PILOT framework — potential, implementation, leadership, optimal performance, and tenacity — empowers people to push past limitations, rise under pressure, and take control of their own path.

    When Ashley Manning's son started preschool, she learned that his teacher had recently lost her husband to cancer. As Valentine's Day approached, Ashley felt a deep pull to offer comfort. So, she arranged a bouquet and gifted it to her, simply acknowledging how hard the day must be. She was moved, and months later, she shared just how much that small act of kindness had meant. In that moment, Ashley realized the profound impact of showing up for someone in grief—a lesson that would soon blossom into something far greater. The Valentine's Day Widow Outreach Project, founded by Ashley Manning of Pretty Things by A.E. Manning, brings comfort and support to widows on a day that can feel especially lonely. What started as a small gesture of delivering a few bouquets has grown into a heartfelt movement, with hundreds of volunteers reaching widows across multiple cities. Through bouquets, the project offers a powerful reminder to those in grief that they are not alone. Manning's initiative not only uplifts widows but also fosters a spirit of community and connection. In today's episode of Celebrate Your Story, Bridget Hogue Costello, Head of Experiences at 1-800-Flowers.com, sits down with Ashley to explore the emotional struggle widows can feel during Valentine's Day, community strength, and the idea of giving as a gift.
