In this deeply moving episode of Tune Up Your Warrior, host Jenny sits down with Tamy Bell, founder of The Golden Society and mother to Griffin — a boy whose light continues to inspire a movement.
Tamy shares her family’s journey, from Griffin’s premature birth and early weeks in the NICU to his brave battle with pediatric cancer. Through raw honesty and remarkable resilience, she reveals what it means to turn unimaginable grief into advocacy, community, and hope.
Together, they explore:
The power of “golden moments” and how they keep Griffin’s spirit alive
The reality of pediatric cancer and why it remains deeply underfunded
What it means to be a caregiver, advocate, and parent navigating the unimaginable
How legacy is built not only through big campaigns but also in everyday acts of love
This episode is both a tribute to Griffin’s lasting impact and a call to action: to rally for better research, more funding, and brighter futures for children everywhere.
