In this episode, Producer Rachel sits down with Terry Grahl, founder and CEO of Enchanted Makeovers, a nonprofit that transforms shelters for women and children escaping trauma through shelter transformations, handmade dolls, superhero capes, sacred sewing rooms, and so much more.
Terry shares how a single volunteer moment at a shelter turned into a lifelong mission. From interior decorator to national advocate for female homeless veterans, survivors of trafficking, and families in crisis, her story is one of faith over fear, action over overwhelm, and believing in the quiet power of beauty, creativity, and imagination to heal.
At every pivotal moment, Terry chose to move forward, without a full plan, without certainty, just a willing heart and a firm belief that the next step would reveal itself. This episode is a powerful reminder that while fear is always an option, so is faith. How we respond in those defining moments shapes the path ahead.
This is more than a story about giving back—it’s about reclaiming purpose, creating belonging, and using what you already have to create real change. It’s about shifting mindsets, tapping into imagination, and giving people permission to dream and heal. Terry doesn’t just transform physical spaces—she helps people see what’s possible for their lives.Learn how one woman:
