Listen "From Loss to Leadership: Karen Olson’s Mission"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I sit down with Karen Olson, founder and CEO Emeritus of Family Promise, whose personal journey of loss and resilience sparked a nationwide movement to combat family homelessness. Karen shares how her experiences—losing her mother at a young age and encountering individuals experiencing homelessness—shaped her empathy and purpose. We discuss the challenges of addressing family homelessness, why community action and policy reform are essential, and how Karen built a grassroots outreach into a national organization that has helped millions. Even after a life-changing accident left her in a wheelchair, Karen continues to inspire with her determination, reminding us all that compassion and kindness can create extraordinary change.
