    Overcoming and Growing Through Setbacks
    2023/07/05
    Resilience. Maybe you’ve heard that word thrown around in the media. Resilience is our ability to adapt and bounce back when things don't go as planned. We like the IDEA of resilience. But, in truth, resilience is a hardwon quality. It only comes to us when we have something to overcome! Disappointment is implied! On today’s show, Karen will talk with Jill Koford about some of the ways she has learned resilience through her disappointing election loss in the Fall of 2022. As she reflects, she is mindful of her growth and all that she has learned in the aftermath of the loss. She’ll share how it is shaping her and steering her current community involvement. As always, you can find our host, Karen Wright, online at https://shinenowornever.com. You can find Jill online at: www.votekoford.com

    Perhaps you’ve been there yourself. When life took a turn that you didn’t see coming. One that left you heartbroken and bereft. Sometimes it’s everything you can do to just put one foot in front of the other. But sometimes that’s really the only thing you CAN do. Today’s guest is Jennie Taylor and she knows what it’s like when life takes twists and turns that you can’t foresee. She was widowed five years ago with seven young children, and yet, despite that pain, she can see that each of life’s plot twists have brought periods of growth. Tune in as she talks with Karen about resilience and rolling with the punches, as well as her mission to help other people find peace and acceptance for the struggles they face in life.

  • Tracing Your Journey

    Tracing Your Journey
    2023/03/01
    Sometimes our passions, a community need, and our problem solving skills collide to make a huge impact - not just on the people around us but in our own lives as well! Today’s guest can see that first hand as she looks back and traces her journey. Sara Mejeur was a development director long before she knew it was a profession. As a competitive cheer coach with no budget and 60+ low-income athletes, she became very effective, strategic, and sustainable in her fundraising and resource development skills. Fast forward 20 years, and now she does the same thing for a living and on a much larger scale. Her job as the Development Director for YCC Family Crisis Center was rooted in her early days. What past experiences or obstacles were part of your journey that you pull on today? What have you learned along the way that is benefiting others? Who have been mentors / good examples for you in your life? These are a few of the questions Karen and Sara will chat about in today’s powerful podcast. As always, you can find our host, Karen Wright, online at https://shinenowornever.com. You can find Sara online at: www.yccogden.org.

    Changing the world often begins right at home where your passions meet your local community. Today’s guest is Brynn Murdock, Executive Director of the Ogden School Foundation. She truly believes that a rising tide lifts all boats; so she’s working hard to raise the tide in her community by developing local leaders and providing opportunities for people to flourish.
