Plus, we are asking them, and you, an important question this season: "If the birth of Christ never happened, what part of your life would be most different? We had Arlene Pellicane join us to discuss the importance of parents engaging with their children rather than relying on phones to do it this Christmas. Arlene is a speaker, author, and host of the Happy Home podcast. She is also a marriage and parenting expert. Arlene has written several books, including “Screen Kids.” We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to discuss the beauty of allowing your mind to be enthralled by the gospel.

Lisa Louise McKenzie (born March 1968) is a British anarchist and senior lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire whose work relates to class inequality, social justice, and British working class culture. She was active in the Class War party.Dr Lisa McKenzieSenior Lecturer in SociologyLisa McKenzieAs a researcher and an educator I am keen to develop research proposals, community collaborations and student projects focusing upon class inequality using a collaborative ethnographic approach. I am particularly interested in how research, teaching and community engagement can collaborate in paradigms of social justice through the use of higher education, and innovative research methodology.My research interests are the continuation and development of research proposals focusing upon class inequality and council estates within the UK. This especially relates to those communities who are presently living through a period of adversity, as the consequences of the UK's austerity measures have major impacts upon public services, housing and welfare entitlements.QualificationsPhD Sociology - University of NottinghamMA Research methods – University of NottinghamBSc Hons Sociology and Social Policy – University of NottinghamTeaching Expertise2019- Date – University of Durham – Assistant ProfessorConvener of Undergraduate modules – Self and Identity – Community Placement ModuleDissertation SupervisorPost-Graduate Supervisor Masters and PhDExternal Examiner: Limerick University Ireland Masters in Youth and Community Service.2017-2019 Middlesex University: Lecturer in Practical SociologyConvener of 1st Year Undergraduate Module ‘Doing Things Together'Convener of 3rd Year Undergraduate module ‘Social Movements, Social Change'2013- 2017: London School of EconomicsConvener of MSC Class, Politics, CultureConvener of PhD Working Group, teaching on Under-Graduate and Masters programmes2005 -2013 : School of Sociology, University of NottinghamLecturer in SociologyUnder-graduate personal tutor, promoting and safeguarding the health welfare and safety of students2008- 2010: Part time lecture and tutor School of Social sciences, The Nottingham Trent University: Collaborated with module convener in devising, and writing lectures for ‘Youth Transitions and Education', wrote and gave four out of ten lectures, and lead weekly seminar groups.Part-Time Tutor; Access to Nursing, and Social Science at The Castle College Nottingham; Lecture, and teach sociology on the Access to Nursing course, marking essays, giving one to one tutorials.

As we enter December and close out the final month of 2025, this episode brings our year-long exploration of restored, intentional female leadership full circle. We've spent the past twelve months talking about presence, friendship, boundaries, nervous system health, community spaces, and the internal work that helps women lead sustainably. This month, we're turning our attention outward—to the communities we belong to. In this episode, Molly shares a deeply personal story of her own evolution as a community volunteer: from an enthusiastic, overcommitted "young mom with a mission" to a thoughtful, seasonally-aware leader who has learned how to give back without losing herself (most of the time, anyway). I talk about the boards I have served on, the projects I've helped lead, the burnout that followed, and the moment I finally gave herself permission to step back. You'll also hear how to bring your gifts, energy, and leadership into your community in ways that honor your capacity, why service doesn't have to be huge or flashy to be meaningful, and how even small acts of care ripple out more than you think. What You'll Hear in This Episode Molly's personal stories of serving on local boards, capital campaigns, and community revitalization projects What I learned from burnout, resentment, and stepping away Malcolm Gladwell's 3 criteria for "meaningful work" and how they apply to volunteering The shift from "lifelong service clubs" to "short-term, high-impact" volunteer models Ideas for serving your community in ways that fit your season of life Real examples of women who made big change through small acts (cookie fundraisers, concert series, park lighting, youth leadership) Why your leadership belongs—even if your gifts look different than someone else's Practical questions to help you discern where and how you are called to serve right now Key Quotes "You don't have to change the world for your service to be meaningful and valuable." "Some seasons are for rolling up your sleeves. Some seasons are for amplifying others. Both are service." "When women bring ideas into community spaces, change happens faster and it sticks."

In this episode of The Quest for Success Podcast, Binara Dharmawardana opens up about his remarkable path as a social entrepreneur and the founder of CDF, a charity dedicated to providing essential medical transportation for underprivileged communities across Sri Lanka. Rooted in empathy and shaped by personal experience, Binara shares how his definition of success has evolved through service, resilience and a deep desire to uplift others. He reflects on the profound impact of his upbringing and the loss of his father to cancer, a turning point that inspired the creation of CDF. Through this story, he sheds light on the harsh realities of healthcare disparities in developing nations and the urgent need for accessible support systems. Binara also highlights the organisation's incredible growth, including helping more than 40,000 patients to date, and the human stories that fuel his mission every day. This conversation is a powerful reminder that success is not always measured by numbers or recognition, but by compassion, purpose and the lives we touch. Binara's vision for the future of CDF is grounded in expansion, sustainability and a continued commitment to serving communities that need it most.  Key Takeaways• Success is delivering or achieving what you have dreamt of.• CDF provides essential medical transportation to underprivileged communities.• Binara's upbringing influenced his understanding of social issues.• Personal loss can drive a passion for helping others.• Healthcare disparities exist in developing nations.• CDF has helped over 40,000 patients to date.• Compassion and resilience are key traits for success.• The future vision includes expanding services and reducing carbon footprint.• Community support is vital for sustaining charitable efforts.• Every contribution, big or small, can make a difference.  Connect with Binara DharmawardanaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/binara-dharmawardana-b4a09b141/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cyrildharmawardanafoundation/Follow us on all your favourite platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheQuestforSuccessPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Quest-For-Success-Podcast/61560418629272/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequestforsuccesspod/Twitter: https://x.com/quest4success_LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-quest-for-successTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequestforsuccesspodWebsite: www.thequestforsuccesspodcast.com Please share this around to anyone you think will get value from it : )

Send us a textWant your child to trade boredom and entitlement for empathy, confidence, and real-world skills? We unpack how consistent, hands-on service can flip that switch. We dive into why serving others accelerates brain development from self-focus to perspective-taking, and how repeated, real-life interactions build emotional intelligence that screens can't teach. You'll hear how mission work reframes what kids think they need to be happy. If your teen is stuck, we outline small, likely-to-succeed steps: a food bank drop-off, a nursing home visit, or a neighborhood cleanup. We share red flags like chronic boredom, entitlement, and the growing “I need” list, plus the counterintuitive fix: more service, not more stuff. Parents will learn to model compassion through tiny daily acts—holding doors, returning neighbors' trash bins, paying it forward—and to frame service as “helping others,” not punishment. The result is a family identity built on showing up, preparing kids to be good neighbors, grounded leaders, and trusted teammates employers actually seek.Ready to build empathy, gratitude, and purpose at home?

Solving problems on college campuses is everyone's job. Suzanne Smith is a nationally recognized community strategist, professor, TEDx speaker, and founder of Social Impact Architects. A Duke MBA, she has spent more than two decades helping leaders tackle complex issues in education, poverty, healthcare, and workforce development. She has also worked with government agencies—including the federal government—and is trilingual in government, policy, and business, giving her a rare perspective on how meaningful change happens. Suzanne is the author of Social TrendSpotter, ranked among the nation's top nonprofit blogs, where she has analyzed philanthropy and nonprofit trends weekly for over 13 years. Known for her straight talk and storytelling, she helps audiences see what's really happening behind the headlines, learn why society's toughest problems are so difficult to solve, and discover what solutions have been proven to really work. In her TEDx talk, “Everyone Can Be a Changemaker,” she shows how ordinary people can take small steps that create extraordinary ripple effects. Whether breaking down giving trends, unpacking nonprofit scandals, or highlighting community solutions, Suzanne makes the case that everyone has a role to play in making change possible. In episode 606 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what inspired Suzanne to start Social Impact Architects, how fraternity and sorority students can begin to see themselves as changemakers, how service work helps to rebuild purpose and connection, how students can design community service projects that actually make an impact, what could change if we used frameworks like Social Alchemy to solve complex problems at college, and what excites her most about the next generation of changemakers on college campuses.
