We all have a social responsibility to help other human beings whether through education, or basic human needs such as water, food and shelter.  What you may not realize is how helping others can impact and change your life forever!  The memories, experiences and human connection for the giver and receiver and PRICELESS!!

You can volunteer your time,  resources, skills and participate in endless ways! No gift is too small!

"Volunteering is a form of expression that communicates the personal and social values that give our lives a deeper meaning. And it is a necessity in a world that has so many human needs.''

The Giving Starts With You Podcast is all about helping men and women discover inner peace, strength and self-love through giving to themselves so that they may be able to give to others.   From time to time, I will be bringing on guests who will share stories of how they gave to themselves, resulting in the ability to serve others.  

My hope is that this show will help you see that you are not alone in your struggles. We all face difficult challenges in our lives at one time or another, but we don't always feel seen or heard.  I see you! You are not alone! I hope this show empowers you and makes you feel that you are VISIBLE,  VALIDATED and VICTORIOUS!

 Sometimes we just need to quiet the noise around us so that we may really FEEL, HEAR and DISCOVER what we are passionate about and start healing from the inside out.

My ultimate goal is for you to live your life authentically and live it the way you want to.  In 2005, I learned that life is just too short to waste, so let yourself shine and do what makes you happy!
