This year at the Mountain Film Festival, the first movie I saw, Between the Mountain & the Sky, profoundly shifted my perspective and left a lasting impact on my life. I knew immediately that I wanted to support anything Maggie Doyne, the subject of the film, was up to. I also knew right away that I wanted to have her as a guest on the Powerful Ladies Podcast. I am so excited to introduce this incredible woman to all of you and to share her remarkable story. Maggie is the co-founder of BlinkNow, an adoptive mom to 93 children (and counting) in Nepal, a wife, a biological mother, and a humanitarian who is truly moving mountains to ensure that children receive the love and opportunities they deserve. And yes, there's nothing cooler than meeting and genuinely connecting with your heroes.

In a world teeming with noise and distraction, sometimes it takes a quiet heart to make the loudest impact. On today's episode, we welcome Maggie Doyne, a soul who turned the simplicity of babysitting money into a beacon of hope in Nepal. Her journey from suburban New Jersey to the remote villages of Nepal is nothing short of miraculous, a modern tale of compassion that evokes the spirit of Mother Teresa.Maggie's path was not one mapped out by ambition but by a profound inner calling. As a typical teenager from New Jersey, Maggie questioned the meaning of success and chose to take a gap year to explore the world beyond her suburban bubble. It was in the heart of northeastern India that she encountered the raw realities of life, where refugees and migrants fleeing the Nepalese civil war laid bare the harsh truths of poverty and displacement. It was here, amidst the rubble and chaos, that Maggie met a young girl named Hema, who was breaking rocks for survival. This encounter was the spark that ignited Maggie's mission.Maggie's response to Hema's plight was not a grand plan but a simple, heartfelt act. She enrolled Hema in a local school, recognizing that education was the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. From this small beginning, Maggie's vision grew. She partnered with her co-founder, Top, and with her babysitting savings, they purchased land in Nepal. They built a home, not just any home, but a vibrant, loving sanctuary for children who had lost everything. This home became the foundation of the BlinkNow Foundation, a testament to the power of love and community.Maggie Doyne faced countless challenges on her journey. Navigating cultural barriers, dealing with the harsh realities of child labor, and confronting deep-seated societal norms required resilience and an unwavering spirit. In Nepal, traditions such as Chhaupadi, where menstruating women are banished to cow sheds, posed significant risks to women and girls. Maggie worked tirelessly to address these issues, using empowerment, education, and community engagement to bring about change. Her efforts were not without resistance, but her dedication never wavered.In her words, “You can pray all you want; shit can still happen.” This raw truth underscores the reality that spirituality and good intentions are not shields against the hardships of life. Maggie's story is a powerful reminder that while the path may be fraught with difficulty, the impact of genuine compassion can transform lives. Her work has led to hundreds of children being saved from the streets, given education, and provided with a future full of possibilities.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe Power of One: Maggie's journey illustrates that one person's actions, driven by love and compassion, can create ripples of change that transform entire communities.Listening to the Heart: True purpose often emerges when we quiet the noise around us and listen to the deeper callings of our heart. Maggie's decision to take a gap year and explore beyond her comfort zone led her to discover her life's mission.Embracing Resilience: Maggie's story teaches us that resilience and persistence in the face of adversity are crucial. The journey may be difficult, but the rewards of seeing lives transformed are immeasurable.As we reflect on Maggie's incredible journey, we are reminded that change begins with a single step, a single act of kindness. Her story is a beacon of hope, showing us that even in the midst of overwhelming challenges, the human spirit is capable of extraordinary compassion and resilience.Please enjoy my conversation with Maggie Doyne.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

„Míg mások a szegénységet és igazságtalanságot látva elfordítják fejüket, vagy kilátástalan kétségbeesésben magukba zárkóznak, Maggie nekigyürkőzik, hogy életeket mentsen - egyenként, egyszerre mindig csak egy gyermekét." - Elizabeth Gilbert, az Ízek, imák, szerelmek című könyv szerzője azt is írja: „Bárcsak olyan ember lehetnék, mint ő!

The world today is as complex as ever. With some systems crumbling and others doubling down, navigating meaningful work can be exhausting and can easily lead to burnout. This is just one aspect of my conversation with Maggie Doyne that I loved diving into. I have long admired people (especially women) who do things differently than the status quo. Who have a desire, a passion and a fuel to do something big- and actually follow that calling. It's SO hard friends. SO freaking hard. This is why I was so fueled and inspired by my conversation with my friend Maggie Doyne, Co-Founder and CEO of the BlinkNow Foundation. In this episode we talked about: What it looks like to navigate privilege, radically listen and work through the "white savior compex" How to have scrappy, messy hope in the midst of todays cultural climate Ins and outs of motherhood in all of its shapes and sizes The power of simplicity and getting our basic needs met I loved having Maggie Doyne on the podcast to discuss her highly anticipated debut memoir Between the Mountain and the Sky: A Mother's Story of Hope and Love. As the CEO and co-founder of BlinkNow, a nonprofit dedicated to serving the children of Nepal, Doyne has been globally recognized for her community-based and sustainable initiatives abroad. The book highlights Doyne's inspirational coming of age story spanning over a decade since she journeyed from her comfortable middle-class New Jersey home for the college gap year that forever changed the trajectory of her life. When Doyne first arrived in Surkhet, Nepal the area was just coming out of a civil war that left families in poverty and many children orphaned on the streets. After an unexpected encounter with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry, Doyne decided to invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of land and open the Kopika Valley Children's Home with a vision to care for, comfort, educate, and empower the children of the community. Alongside BlinkNow co-founder Tope Malla, Doyne has gone on to open a school, health clinic, women's center, and more, and was recognized for her remarkable initiatives as a 2015 CNN Hero of the Year.

In the first episode of our new season, Dawn talks with Maggie Doyne, cofounder of the BlinkNow Foundation and Kopila Valley Children's Home and School in Surkhet, Nepal, about her new memoir Between the Mountain and the Sky. They discuss ideas about motherhood and creating family, the power of grief and hope, the strength and tremendous potential of community, and the ongoing work we are all engaged in to make the world better for children. 

“It was just unthinkable to me that kids were passing their lives this way and that it was ok and accepted” Welcome everyone and thanks for tuning in to episode 33 of the It Matters To Me Podcast, a show that celebrates the random through 1-on-1 conversations with people and the passions they pursue. Today my guest is Maggie Doyne, founder of Blink Now, a non-profit dedicated to helping Nepali children by providing a safe environment and quality education, as well as CNN's 2015 Hero of the Year. At 18 years old, after Maggie's senior year of high school, she boarded a plane in New Jersey and set off to see the world with just her backpack. Four countries and 20,000 miles later, she found herself trekking through the Himalayas and walking along the dirt roads of Nepal's most poverty-stricken villages. It was there that she met a six-year-old girl breaking rocks to earn a few dollars to feed her family and who would go on to change Maggie's life forever. Maggie's recently written a book about that journey titled, Between The Mountain And The Sky and that's kind of where we start the conversation. From there we get into all the growing pains she had to go through to get BlinkNow to the internationally recognized non-profit it is today and all the lessons she had to learn as she went. Then we also talk about some of the more personal challenges someone in Maggie's shoes faces when you're an outsider to the people you're trying to help. There's a lot of great, candid conversation in this one and I instantly felt like I connected with Maggie as soon as we started talking. She's a truly inspiring person with immense humility and I couldn't be more thrilled to champion her story for her. Ok enough from me, let's get to it, here's my talk with Maggie Doyne.

Maggie has been hailed as CNN Hero of the Year and criticized for perpetuating the white savior narrative, and she has something to say about both. As many people know, at 19 years old, Maggie set off on a gap year that ultimately led her to Co-Found BlinkNow and personally adopt almost 60 Nepalese children. Her story is complicated, inspiring, nuanced, beautiful, and painful. And through her new book, "Between the Mountain and Sky: A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, Healing, and Hope" Maggie lets us walk with her through so many of the ups and downs of her journey. In this episode, Maggie and I untangle some of the duality that Maggie and BlinkNow experienced when the media would cover Maggie's inspiring story. For example, opportunities and funding for the nonprofit were realized because Maggie was from a suburban town in New Jersey, while at the same time the media narrative about the organization would often leave out the most important part - that the organization was primarily driven by local leadership and solutions from inside the local community. While Maggie was attempting to partner with the local community in the most humble and ethical way, the media clickbait stories about her work caused harm and, as she reflects back, that is something she wishes she had corrected and spoken up more about at the moment.  Maggie talks about her commitment to using her whiteness as an ally, to elevate the voices and the stories around her and not be the center of the story. And in this conversation, we explore the learning journey that has led to her stepping back in this way. We often approach conversations like this in binary ways - good/bad, right/wrong, ethical/unethical but what this conversation creates is an opening for more curiosity, wonder, learning, and listening.  We talk about how the nonprofit sector as a whole can do better, starting with a commitment to learning from one another. We also discuss the power of vulnerability as a teacher and storytelling as a tool; why it's important to deploy an inside-out approach that honors the people who know best, the ones on the ground.

As a teenager growing up in New Jersey, Maggie Doyne looked ahead to a future already written - college, career, student loans - and realized there must be more out there. During a gap year spent traveling in Southeast Asia, Maggie came face to face with a reality starkly different than the one she had known growing up - a refugee crisis, children forced into hard labor, and families torn apart by the Nepalese civil war. Struck by a deep affinity for the Nepalese people, Maggie new she had to act. She pooled what little resources she had, and together with her cofounder, a local Nepali man named Top Malla, she founded BlinkNow, a nonprofit organization that runs a school, women's center, and children's home in Surkhet Nepal.

Via Blinknow.org: Maggie created the BlinkNow Foundation to sustain, grow, and support Kopila Valley Children’s Home and School in Nepal, and to serve as a vehicle to share her ideas with young people, especially children in the U.S. Maggie believes that in the blink of an eye, we can all make a difference. At age 19, Maggie used her life savings to build a home for orphaned children in war-ravaged Nepal. Today, she is mom to over 50 children. In 2010, she opened a school for the region’s most impoverished children. The school now serves 400 students and is rated top in the region. Maggie was named 2015 CNN Hero of the Year. She was honored by the Dalai Lama as an Unsung Hero of Compassion in 2014.

Maggie Doyne of BlinkNow is called a hero by many, but in her eyes, she's just a compassionate, normal person looking to improve the world, one person at a time. Before co-founding BlinkNow, an organization that supports children in rural Nepal, Maggie chose to take a gap year - forgoing college - to travel the world and learn more about herself. In Nepal's Kopila Valley, she found her calling. And in Maggie's words, “it felt easier to stay and do something than to turn around and go home.”Today we will discuss:Maggie's journeyQuestioning ‘the system'What pushed you?Dare to be differentWhy Nepal?What motivates you?Your inner guideMaking change (as a “normal” person)What's next?LINK TO DONATE TO BLINKNOW!>>>>>https://my.blinknow.org/give/145473/#!/donation/checkout

New Jersey native Maggie Doyne was age 18 when she arrived in Nepal, 19 when she had co-founded the BlinkNow Foundation nonprofit to support children in the district of Surkhet, and by 25, she had become a mother to 40 children. Doyne’s unlikely story began in 2005, with the decision to take a gap year after high school and travel; she felt it was necessary to press pause on a more expected path and learn about herself and her purpose in the world. Upon her visit to Nepal, Doyne fell in love with the country and the people. But she also found it in the aftermath of a nearly 11-year civil war, with displaced families, schools shut down, and children breaking rocks to sell for money. Doyne gathered her babysitting savings—just five thousand dollars—to buy a piece of land in Surkhet, and started a children’s home there. She still lives in that home now as the mother to 54 children. Today, BlinkNow, which she co-founded with her Nepali friend Top Malla, supports the Kopila Valley School, as well as a children’s home, health clinic, “Big Sister’s” home, and women’s center. The Kopila Valley School’s new campus opened this past February. Not only does the pre-primary through 12th grade program have 20 classrooms to educate more than 400 students, it is one of the greenest schools in the world. For her work, Doyne has received the Unsung Hero of Compassion Award, presented to her by the Dalai Lama in 2014, and was recognized as CNN’s 2015 Hero of the Year. On this episode of Time Sensitive, the 32-year-old Doyne discusses her path from presumably college-bound student to full-time mother of nearly five dozen Nepali children; experiencing heartbreaking loss and meeting the love of her life; and the importance of taking action.

Laura Frizzell of The Ohio State Univ describes surprising forgiveness in Rwanda. Archaeologist Neil Ackerman discusses a replica of an ancient find that almost fooled the experts.

Journalist and author Robert Whitaker reminds us of the dark side of Valium.

This episode is very much outside of our usual format. We were attending a film festival called MountainFilm, in Telluride, Colorado and were invited to be the first podcast to ever record the extremely impactful talks that happen there. This particular talk revolves around the work of Maggie Doyne, an American philanthropist who adopted and became a mother to 50+ Nepalese children, and whose organization aims to change the world through empowering Nepal's children, and, Ben Ayers, a philanthropist whose dedicated over a third of his life to Nepal, and whose organization creates long-term partnerships designed for Nepalese communities that others cannot reach. This star studded panel, including Cheryl Strayed, and Tom Shadyac, discuss ways to go against the grain of the traditional charity narrative, and instead, approach this work with cultural awareness. It's truly our privilege to share this important conversation with our listeners; We hope you're as moved by it as we were.

At 18 years old, Maggie Doyne, decided to take a gap year that turned into her life’s work.Traveling to India and then Nepal, she felt called to make a difference in Nepali children’s lives. So, she took her life’s savings, then $5,000, moved to Nepal, bought property there and co-founded the BlinkNow foundation (https://blinknow.org/pages/our-history) along with a Nepali friend, Top Bahadur Malla. Their vision, to provide kids with a safe home, medical care, an education and love, so they will grow up to be adults with a social conscience and the skills to continue the mission of ending the cycles of poverty and violence in the world.Working hand-in-hand with Top, and a team that is 90% Nepali, they built a children’s home, where Maggie and a team of caregivers, cooks, “aunties and uncles” take care of their family of more than 50 kids. They then built a school, staffed by an all-Nepali faculty that serves more than 350 kids, along with a health clinic and women’s center for the Kopila Valley area in Nepal. Maggie received the 2015 CNN Hero Award and her work has been recognized by the Dalai Lama for her work.In today’s conversation, we explore Maggie’s decision to take a gap year that turned into a life she never imagined living, what drew her to Nepal and the moment that awakened her to a deeper calling. We also explore the challenges along the way, the importance of working in close collaboration with the community. We also talk about a moment of profound loss that incapacitated her for months, how that experience changed her and shifted the direction of her life.It’s also important to note that, while this conversation is largely about Maggie’s personal story, and the life and contributions she’s made in Nepal, Maggie is also very clear that, from the beginning, everything has always been a collaborative effort, working hand-in-hand with her Nepali co-founder and their local team on the ground playing a huge role in every aspect of what’s been built.Check out our offerings & partners: Fully: To get your body moving in your workspace, go to fully.com/GOODLIFECalm: Give yourself the gift of Calm.
