This episode was filmed in front of a live audience at The Foothills Golf Club with partners 100+ Women Who Care. This week, we're diving deep into community support and the incredible work being done to help those in need, both human and animal. First, we welcome Jodi Polanski, the founder of Lost Our Home Pet Rescue. Jodi's journey is a testament to turning hardship into hope. She recounts the devastating effects of the 2008 housing crisis and how she witnessed firsthand the plight of abandoned pets. Jodi's quick action and dedication led to the creation of Lost Our Home, an organization that provides vital support to both pets and their owners during challenging times.

Then, we sit down with Joan Leafman from Corbin's Legacy. Joan shares the powerful story of her daughter, Corbin, a dedicated kindergarten teacher whose compassion for her students led to the creation of an organization that's making a real difference. We learn about Corbin's unwavering commitment to ensuring every child had a hot lunch, no matter their circumstances, and how that spirit lives on. Joan sheds light on the startling reality of childhood hunger in Maricopa County and the vital programs Corbin’s Legacy runs, from weekend food backpacks to free farmer's markets.
