Summary
In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm talking to one of the most inspiring people I've ever met.
She is absolutely a living example of someone who is loving, serving, and growing through her work in the world.
Susan Ramirez is the founder and CEO of National Angels, an organization that helps foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.
Susan spent the first several years of her career working in corporate America, but then, after attending a conference about foster and adoption, she felt a powerful calling to completely change her life's path.
Despite being scared to shift her life so drastically, she stepped forward to honor that calling and has since gone on to grow National Angels to a nationwide organization that helps thousands of foster children and their families.
This episode is so inspiring, and I know it's going to resonate with that big piece of YOU that feels called to serve through your work and your business.
Listen in to hear...
---> The full powerful story of how Susan was called to help kids in foster care
---> The inner struggle that Susan faced to honor that calling — and how she overcame it
---> How her vision expanded the more she honored her calling
---> Inspiring stories about how the work National Angels is doing is working
---> How you can help support families who foster with time, financial resources, or mentoring
Susan believes that every single child should have one healthy adult who knows the color of their eyes and the passions of their heart…
...and her mission is to reach and help every single child so that they know and feel that they're loved.
