Summary
Let's make this the holiday season of giving! And volunteering and helping those in need. There are so many ways you can do it!
In this episode, Lindsay is sharing how she started her non-profit, The Happiness Project, and how you can volunteer using the same plan.
It's grass roots and it's directly impacting people who need it. Lindsay shares how you can figure out what inspires you to figure out WHO you want to help and HOW.

And it's SO GOOD for our kids! To actually HELP others is so good for all of us, but especially for our kids. Lindsay gives you lots of ideas of how to get your kids involved too!

| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about what we can do for other people this year. If there was every year to focus on less stuff and more service, I think it's now. More people than ever can use our help and I'm going to tell you how to find them and how to give back in a way that also fills your soul. I'm talking about how I started my nonprofit 12 years ago to help kids in Orange County using the same plan I'm talking about today. |
| 0:24.7 | I'm talking about really helping people in the ways that they need it most. |
| 0:29.5 | It's some of the most fulfilling work that I do and I think it will be for you too. |
| 0:34.8 | Today it's all about service and volunteering in all the ways you can do it and |
| 0:39.0 | really make an impact. Let's go. You're listening to the How to Be Awesome at Everything |
| 0:44.8 | podcast where we're obsessed with life hacks that make your life more awesome. Your host, |
| 0:50.9 | Lindsay Dick Hout, is an entrepreneur and business owner, a mom and wife, and someone who wants to do things over the top at all times. |
| 0:59.0 | This concept started as a collection of things Lindsay has learned that she was documenting to get to her kids one day. |
| 1:04.8 | And now it's a podcast. |
| 1:06.5 | Join us on this journey where we talk about how to be awesome at everything we do. Here's Lindsay. |
| 1:13.2 | Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you for listening. I'm glad you're here. Today is like a feel good |
| 1:20.0 | episode. I hope this episode empowers you to get out and do something that you've never done before as far as volunteerism goes |
| 1:31.1 | and charity work goes. There are so many options out there. And when I talk to people about it, |
| 1:36.8 | they always say they just don't know what to do. And there's so much need in every city, |
| 1:44.9 | in every county. There's so much you can every city, in every county. |
| 1:46.2 | There's so much you can do. |
| 1:53.0 | So my goal is to kind of bridge that disconnect, you know, kind of, which is the reason why I started my nonprofit to begin with. |
| 1:55.1 | I was volunteering at soup kitchens and shelters, and I just realized that there was a big gap between what the |
| 2:03.4 | shelters can provide and what the families needed. Now, most of them provide the basics. So they |
| 2:10.7 | have shelter and they have food. But oftentimes it's the extras, which we'll get into, that they're not able to cover for people. So that's why I |
| 2:19.9 | started my nonprofit. I was seeing that these families that maybe had hit hard times or had had something |
| 2:27.8 | serious happen in the family, for whatever reason, they were in this difficult situation and they were able to get their food |
