In this inspiring conversation, Jenn sits down with Heidi Johnson, Founder of Charity Matters — a platform amplifying the stories of everyday changemakers who are making a difference in their communities. Heidi shares how a personal loss became the catalyst for a movement that has inspired thousands. She talks about what drives people to give, the ripple effect of generosity, and how storytelling can be one of the most powerful tools for good.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Heidi turned pain into purpose through philanthropy
