Podcasts about changing lives

What happens when you go from financial chaos to complete clarity in under 12 months? In this episode of Money Mentor: Changing Lives, G chats with Lene and Kacey, who started with less than $3K in savings, a stack of debt, no budget, and a heap of stress. They've been on the podcast before - now it's time to catch up with what's happened in the past 6 months and if they've sorted out that White Christmas.With zero stress and big goals for the future, this story is proof that when you follow the plan, the results are real.

In a powerful episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sat down with Joyce Salzberg, an extraordinary woman whose life and work illuminate the intersection of personal resilience, professional purpose, and societal transformation. Joyce is the co-founder and co-CEO of Sunny Days, a national provider of early intervention and autism services, and the founder of Oxford Consulting, which supports schools and adults with developmental needs. But her journey began with a painful turning point—and became a lesson in turning adversity into impact. A Catalyst for Change: From Breast Cancer to Bold Beginnings Joyce's career in early childhood intervention took an unexpected turn after a breast cancer diagnosis while serving as the Associate Executive Director of United Cerebral Palsy of New Jersey. Despite undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, she continued working tirelessly—only to be told her insurance premiums had become a burden and, soon after, that her position was no longer needed. Rather than retreat, Joyce fought back. She filed a lawsuit, becoming one of the first to test the newly passed Americans with Disabilities Act as a cancer survivor. The case garnered national attention and, ultimately, inspired Joyce to launch Sunny Days in 1994. Pioneering a New Model of Care Starting in the basement of her home, Joyce reimagined how services could be delivered. While others were focused on center-based programs, Sunny Days sent occupational, speech, and physical therapists into the child's natural environment—their home. Joyce's vision was validated when Congress reauthorized the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1998, mandating that early intervention services be delivered in those very environments. Her innovation wasn't just timely—it was transformative. Today, Sunny Days serves families in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, California, and more. Her son now leads operations in New York, her daughter supports administration, and Oxford Consulting continues to expand services for school-aged children and adults. You may enjoy our YouTube video of this podcast: Leading with Purpose, Scaling with Precision Running a mission-driven company isn't just about compassion—it's about operational excellence. Joyce built Sunny Days and Oxford Consulting with no formal business training, relying instead on her background as a social worker, her experience managing programs, and her keen ability to recruit the right experts, understand government regulations, and manage complex budgets. Today, Joyce oversees a team of 15 directors, with leadership succession plans in place to ensure her legacy lives on. The organization's services are not only clinically sound—they're deeply personal. Joyce continues to receive emails from parents whose children have made remarkable progress because of Sunny Days' early intervention programs. Policy Challenges and a Call to Action Despite its success, Joyce is clear-eyed about the challenges ahead. Funding for early intervention, especially through Medicaid, is at risk. In states like New Jersey and New York, where the majority of children served rely on Medicaid, the future of these programs is in jeopardy. She urges policymakers to recognize that early intervention is not an expense—it's an investment. Getting services to children between birth and age three can dramatically reduce the long-term costs associated with developmental disabilities. As Joyce explains, “We save Part B of IDEA money by intervening early, helping children reach developmental milestones before entering school.” Giving Back with Grace Joyce's success has come full circle. A first-generation college graduate from a working-class family in Philadelphia, she never forgot her roots. In 2019, she donated $1 million to Temple University to create the Joyce K. Salzberg Center for Professional Development, helping liberal arts students prepare for meaningful careers. She also established scholarships for single mothers, recognizing how hard that journey can be. Her advice for aspiring women entrepreneurs? Network relentlessly. “You never know who will open the next door,” she says. And most importantly, listen to what others see in you. Sometimes others recognize your potential before you do.

Welcome back, friends. This week on the podcast, I sit down with Ben Kovacs, co-founder of Guardian Gym, a nonprofit martial arts academy with locations in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Ethiopia, and more, with a mission to empower youth through free access to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mentorship. Ben shares the personal experiences that ignited his passion for community work and the story behind the gym's inception. From securing funding for their first location to building a culture rooted in connection rather than competition, Ben walks us through how Guardian Gym challenges the stereotypes surrounding combat sports. We explore the emotional, psychological, and social benefits that martial arts can offer, especially for at-risk youth, and discuss why BJJ is far more than a sport—it's a transformative tool for growth, self-respect, and community healing.

There are many different types of grief, and everyone processes the death of someone close to them in different ways. It's one thing for a mature adult to work through their emotions following a loss, but what about someone who is still young and may not be as in touch with their feelings and how to deal with them?In this episode of Changing Lives, we'll cover children's grief, including how it differs from an adult's, how to process a death as a child, and how to help a child work through their grief.Written by: Lee McConnellSources:Helping Kids Cope With Grief: 6+ Tips to Support ChildrenHelping Children Cope With Grief - Child Mind InstituteSupport the showListen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives" on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.

Our guest, Barry Dean, is a double threat. Not only is he a writer of No.1 country and pop songs but he's also the CEO of Luci, a company dedicated to creating smart wheelchair technology for individuals with disabilities, like his daughter Catherine. Our conversation is one of the most compelling we've had on the show -- he's a fantastic, funny, and wise storyteller. He talks about his journey from aspiring rock star (at 19 he "ran out of brave") to businessman and shadow artist to songwriter (not starting until his mid-30s) and then CEO in a new-to-him industry where he challenged the entrenched powers-that-be, and helped to create innovative technology that is changing lives. HIs curiosity, creative process, and courage are beyond inspiring.   Takeaways: creativity is an act of courage beware of being a shadow artist, someone who encourages other people to be creative, but who doesn't pursue their own creative potential it's never too late to step into your passion collaboration in music and in life is about listening and finding shared truths personal experiences, especially those related to family, are often the catalyst for some of our most compelling creative endeavors.  Resources:Follow Barry on instagram @thebarrydean Learn more about his music at creativenationmusic.com Check out Luci and learn more about smart wheelchair technology And watch God's Will, which Rolling Stone listed as one of the saddest country music songs of all time.

Since then, they've sold a dud investment, bought two more with equity, dropped their home loan to $335k, and even lost a combined 26kg doing 75 Hard with G.

After attending a David Goggins event and hearing G speak, he left school, became an apprentice, and started saving with a fierce determination to build wealth early. By 17 he'd made his first investment, and by 18 he hit his $100K savings goal. This episode is proof that age means nothing when your mindset is right.

Send us a textMaryvale began in 1856 when five nuns from the Daughters of Charity opened Los Angeles' first orphanage and hospital—initially a small wood-frame home near what is now Union Station. By 1891, it had moved to a larger facility in Boyle Heights, becoming a safe haven for thousands of children. When freeway expansion and earthquake damage threatened that site, generous benefactors—including Carrie Estelle Doheny—helped relocate the orphanage to Rosemead in 1953, where it was renamed Maryvale.Over the decades, Maryvale evolved from an orphanage into a comprehensive community service organization. They opened early education centers in Rosemead and Duarte, added transitional housing for young adults, and developed mental health and family-based programs. Today, Maryvale offers everything from preschool and after-school care to wraparound services, outpatient substance-use treatment, and emergency shelter—making it one of the San Gabriel Valley's longest-running nonprofits.A few warm and surprising facts: (1) Maryvale is LA's oldest children's charity—over 165 years of service. (2) Its Rosemead campus features more than classrooms—there's a pool, transitional housing, and family facilities. (3) Their Duarte site began as a “Land of Ahs” daycare back in 1999 and reopened in 2011 as a state-of-the-art early education and family resource center. (4) Maryvale recently received city approval to expand their Seton House transitional housing project—proof that they're still growing.Today, with campuses in Rosemead, Duarte, and South El Monte, Maryvale continues to serve families with hope, education, mental health support, and housing. From caring for orphans in the 19th century to empowering vulnerable youth and families today, their legacy lives on in real impact across the San Gabriel Valley.__________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

For children affected by parental incarceration, the trauma can be deep, isolating, and difficult to express. But in Lancaster, a unique nonprofit is helping those children find their voice — through music. Scaling Walls a Note at a Time (SWAN) was founded in 2011 by violinist and educator Diana Vuolo to serve children impacted by the incarceration of a parent. The organization offers free music instruction, performance opportunities, Bible and trauma management classes, and immediate access to mental health care — all under one roof.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Changing Lives Pt 1

Mika, a childhood girlfriend of T, stopped by the show to talk about love life and new beginnings. Check out the full episode now.

In this episode, I chat with the vibrant and inspiring Jess Peil — and trust me, you're going to fall in love with her story. From childhood runs in the Saudi Arabian desert, to chasing Puffing Billy in Melbourne, and now taking on seven marathons in seven states for Bravehearts, Jess brings passion, purpose, and a whole lot of heart to her running. We cover:

It's heartbreaking to think about kids with no safe place to sleep while the world moves on around them.

In this moving episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I'm joined by my dear friend and extraordinary speaker, Darryll Stinson — a former Division I athlete, bestselling author, and two-time TEDx speaker whose transformational journey from trauma to truth is nothing short of breathtaking. Together, we explore the alchemy of vulnerability, the healing power of self-connection, and how Darryll has turned personal pain into powerful purpose. From surviving suicide attempts to becoming a voice for mental health and emotional authenticity, Darryll offers wisdom, compassion, and clarity for anyone ready to share their story, speak their truth, and embrace their wholeness. This conversation is a testament to the power of story, the necessity of self-care, and the liberation that comes when we stop hiding and start honoring all parts of ourselves. If you've ever wondered how to alchemize your lived and learned experience into a message that heals — this episode is for you.   ✨ What we explore: When we're in right relationship with ourselves, we become more free from external judgment. Visibility isn't about ego—it's about purpose. We must become fully expressed in order to fully serve. Vulnerability lives on a spectrum. It's not just about sharing trauma—it's about being open to your truth, power, and presence. Transformation begins in the mirror. Darryll shares how mirror work helped him move from self-hate to self-love. You don't need to wait for crisis to change. Your catalyst can be a conscious choice, not just a breakdown. The future belongs to fully-expressed, emotionally intelligent leaders. The next wave of speakers will embody deep self-awareness and divine availability. If this episode moved you, take a moment to pause and connect with your own story. What part of you is ready to be seen, heard, and healed?   Connect with Darryll: Website: www.darryllstinson.com Instagram: @stinsonspeaks LinkedIn: Darryll Stinson YouTube: @stinsonspeaks   Connect with me: Newsletter  nancylevin.com Instagram Facebook

Have you ever heard a story so raw, so real, that it physically stopped you in your tracks? The kind of story that makes you put down your to-do list, take a deep breath, and remember why you started this journey in the first place? May is National Small Business Month, and while I LOVE hearing from the headline-makers and household names, today is about something even more special: real stories from real listeners of this podcast.  These are the kind of women who tune in while they're juggling kids and client calls, who build their dreams during nap time or after their 9-to-5. They may not have gone viral, but what they've built? It's powerful. It's personal. And it matters. Tonbra, Maris, and Chelle didn't just build businesses… They built something beautiful from heartbreak, identity shifts, and unimaginable challenges. From cancer diagnoses to grief to reinvention, these women turned their hardest chapters into platforms that now help others. If you're walking through your own hard chapter, or even just need a reminder of what's possible on the other side of pain, this one's for you.
