What if the greatest gift we could give someone is simply the freedom to be fully themselves—without fear, without judgment?
In this powerful episode, we reflect on one of the most moving messages from our guest’s book: how a life—like her mother’s—might have been different if met with kindness, understanding, and a safe space to express without shame. We explore how judgment can silence, but compassion can heal.
From raising her sons as a single mother to founding Family Promise, our guest shares how her purpose has always been rooted in empathy—not fear or stigma. Whether it was walking the streets of New York with her boys or creating a national movement for families experiencing homelessness, she proves that courage and compassion are what change lives.
