Sheila Schneider's journey from military spouse to nonprofit leader reveals how our life experiences perfectly prepare us for unexpected purpose. Raised in a family where all nine siblings had military connections and later marrying an Air Force serviceman, Sheila intimately understood the challenges military families face—frequent relocations, year-long separations, and the struggle to maintain career continuity while supporting a service member.
Her professional path was anything but linear. From making biscuits at Hardee's to wearing hard hats in food processing plants to becoming a university professor, each seemingly disconnected experience built the perfect foundation for her current role as Executive Director of the Kaufman Fund. What began as volunteer work alphabetizing registration lists evolved into leadership of a vital veterans' support organization that helps 2,000 former service members annually.
The Kaufman Fund addresses critical gaps in veteran support through eight innovative programs. Their dental initiative tackles a shocking reality—only 4.5% of veterans qualify for dental care through the VA. Their mental health program uniquely extends to family members who share in the trauma but are excluded from VA services. From distributing winter coats to homeless veterans to providing emergency legal assistance, their comprehensive approach creates immediate relief while building dignity.
Sheila's advice for finding purpose resonates regardless of age or circumstance: "Look in your backyard. What is it in your community that you see needs help?" She emphasizes that purpose often begins with small contributions—even volunteering just a few hours monthly can create ripple effects of positive change. Her journey from Girl Scout leader to nonprofit executive demonstrates how starting with one small act of service can evolve into meaningful impact that transforms both the lives you touch and your own sense of purpose.

What does it take to rebuild your life after unimaginable tragedy? Dr. Kimberly Harms knows this journey intimately. Born as a thalidomide baby with seven fingers, she defied an advisor who told her dental school was impossible, going on to become the first female president of the Minnesota Dental Association. But her greatest challenges came later – losing her mother to suicide, then facing her son Eric's suicide at just 19 years old.
The moment that transformed her grief journey came unexpectedly in a parking lot, when someone confronted her about how her suffering was affecting her remaining children. This wake-up call sparked her determination to "kick and scream and fight" her way out of the grief pit – not just for herself, but for everyone who loved her.
Dr. Harms shares practical wisdom from managing her dental practice through tragedy, including creating "crying rooms" and systems to help team members support each other through crisis. But perhaps most profound were the lessons she learned while establishing 65 libraries across Rwanda in her son's memory. There, genocide survivors who had lost everything taught her about true forgiveness – not forgetting, but choosing to build something new from devastation.
This conversation offers rare insight into how someone moves forward when life divides into "before" and "after." Dr. Harms doesn't sugarcoat the difficulty of this journey, emphasizing that finding joy again requires active fighting against negative self-talk and shame. Yet her message radiates hope: no matter what tragedy has occurred, love and joy remain possible if we're willing to fight for them.

What happens when a former nun finds her calling in the corporate world? Join me, Beverley Glazer, as we unravel the awe-inspiring journey of Denise Pyles, a dedicated mindfulness coach and former nun whose life is a testament to resilience and purpose. Raised in a large Catholic family, Denise learned the values of love, service, and faith early on, which guided her through formidable health challenges like chronic endometriosis. These trials didn't deter her; instead, they led her to discover mindfulness, a practice that became her anchor as she embarked on a completely new path outside the convent.
Denise's story takes an unexpected yet empowering turn as she transitions from a nurturing religious community to the bustling corridors of Microsoft.

When the very people you trusted the most were the ones who betrayed you, who can you trust? Join me, Beverley Glazer, as I talk with the resilient Kerri Lewis, a Grief Practitioner, Author and founder of Second Act Mastery. Kerri shares her profound journey from a tumultuous childhood and many betrayals to a path of empowerment and love. Growing up in a household overshadowed by conflict, Kerri learned to make herself invisible to dodge her parents' unhappiness. Her story takes a dramatic turn when, at 19, she marries to escape her troubled past, only to confront the grim reality of her husband's alcohol addiction. With remarkable courage, Kerri ultimately chose her own well-being over a toxic relationship, making the heart-wrenching decision to cut ties with her parents after uncovering that she was involved in her father's deceitful financial actions.
Kerri's second husband betrayed her completely when she discovered a suitcase of papers, revealing that his true identity, was not the person she had married and was living with for five years. Her story is not only about overcoming adversity but also about the unexpected twists life can throw our way. In a heart-rending twist of fate, she finally found true love through a serendipitous reconnection on a social networking site. This once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a childhood friend blossomed into a loving marriage and a move back to California. Yet, just as happiness seemed within reach, Kerri faced the devastating loss of her husband to a sudden heart attack. Through her tale of rediscovered love and heartache, Kerri shares profound lessons in resilience and the unpredictable nature of life. Her journey will inspire you to face life's challenges with renewed purpose and determination, teaching us all about the strength found in vulnerability.
