Elisabeth Jordan, founder and CEO of The Human Impact, shares her powerful transformation from losing her dream job in entertainment to finding purpose through 12 years of street ministry. In this vulnerable conversation, she reveals how an identity crisis led her from Dallas's Park Cities to building genuine friendships with people experiencing homelessness. Learn why she calls them "friends on the street," how mental health and trauma play into homelessness, and why simply making eye contact can change everything. Elisabeth challenges our assumptions about homeless communities and shows how friendship—not charity—creates real healing. Perfect for anyone questioning their purpose, dealing with anxiety, or wanting to make a meaningful difference.
