In this powerful episode of Little Give we sit down with Amber Thompson Snell, Co-Founder and CEO of Foundation Mental Wellness, to explore how a deeply personal journey led her to build a groundbreaking mental health platform that puts accessibility, affordability, and healing at the forefront.
Amber shares how a desperate call from a concerned father combined with her own experiences growing up around mental illness became the catalyst for a bold decision to take on a broken mental health system. From advocating for real change to building an online platform with over 2,000 clinicians, Amber discusses how her organization fills the gap for those who are often left behind by traditional insurance-based care.
She also opens up about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the emotional toll of building something impactful, and the motivation behind every move: helping people. Plus, learn how her company gives back through a powerful nonprofit partnership with Room Redux, transforming the lives of children healing from trauma.
If you’ve ever felt called to turn your pain into purpose, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Amber reminds us that you don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to take the first step.
Tune in to hear how one woman’s mission to fix what’s broken is helping people heal one life at a time.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
