In this heartfelt episode of the No Labels, No Limits podcast, host Sarah Boxx welcomes Layne The Auctionista—an unstoppable, non-binary force in fundraising who has raised over $50 million for charities while breaking barriers and building bridges. Layne openly shares their journey: from feeling isolated as a young person to finding community, living authentically, and becoming a vibrant ambassador for nonprofits.
Together, Sarah and Layne explore:
- How Layne sees their role as an extension of a charity's brand—to engage, inspire, and move people to action.
- The secret to sustaining energy, positivity, and life force despite facing discrimination and cruelty.
- The deep human need for belonging: “Being invisible is painful, but not belonging is worse. Humans need to belong to thrive.”
- How surrounding yourself with supportive, courageous people can help you live your most authentic life.
- Reflections Layne would share with their younger self about overcoming loneliness and finding “your people.”
This is more than a conversation about leadership—it's a call to build inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, changemaker, or someone seeking connection, Layne’s wisdom will leave you energized and ready to take bold action.
Tune in to get inspired, embrace belonging, and amplify your impact.
