What if your greatest pain could become your greatest purpose?
In this powerful episode, we sit down with Karen Olson—author of Meant for More: Following Your Heart and Finding Your Purpose and founder of the nationwide nonprofit Family Promise. Karen’s journey began with a simple act of kindness—a ham and cheese sandwich handed to a woman on the streets. That moment sparked a movement that has since transformed the lives of over one million people experiencing homelessness.
Karen shares how personal grief led her to a life of service, why meeting people exactly where they are is the foundation of true compassion, and how we can all find deeper meaning by turning empathy into action. If you’ve ever wondered how one person can change the world, this episode is proof that you are meant for more.
