In this episode, I sit down with Andria Larson, Executive Director of Lasagna Love, an organization proving that kindness can be delivered one warm meal at a time. What began as a simple gesture has grown into a global movement rooted in compassion, connection, and community. Under Andria’s leadership, Lasagna Love has delivered more than 500,000 homemade lasagnas to families in need of extra care, touched over 2 million individuals with the comfort of a home-cooked meal, built a volunteer network of more than 80,000 people, and expanded its presence into four countries.

Andria brings together her professional expertise and her deep passion for service in a way that creates meaningful, lasting impact. From empowering volunteers to forging partnerships, she ensures that every lasagna delivered offers more than nourishment; it offers hope, comfort, and human connection.

In our conversation, we explore Lasagna Love’s mission, the experiences that fuel Andria’s dedication, and the extraordinary ripple effect that a simple act of kindness can have on individuals and entire communities. If you have ever wondered whether small gestures truly make a difference, this episode is a powerful reminder of how everyday people can come together and uplift one another in profound ways.

In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Gina Nicholson, a devoted mother of four, woman of faith, trusted friend, and passionate fitness and health coach. Gina and I talk about how she stays grounded while juggling motherhood, marriage, and her calling to help women feel their best inside and out. She opens up about the importance of authenticity, faith, and grace in everyday life and shares practical ways to weave wellness into even the busiest seasons.

I loved this conversation because Gina reminds us that we don’t have to overhaul our lives to feel better; small, consistent steps can lead to lasting joy. Whether you’re navigating family life, searching for balance, or simply wanting to feel more energized and connected, this episode will inspire you to prioritize your health and happiness in ways that feel doable and meaningful.

In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Karen Henrich, founder of Moment by Moment Photography, a nonprofit with over two decades of compassion and service. Moment by Moment provides free in-hospital and hospice portrait sessions for families of children facing life-impacting illnesses, offering not just photos, but lasting memories of love, courage, and hope.

To date, they’ve documented the stories of more than 8,000 families, earning national recognition from NBC Bay Area Proud, Children’s Hospice International, and Diablo Magazine’s Threads of Hope Award.

Karen’s story is a powerful reminder of how art and empathy can bring healing and light to even the darkest moments.
