First to the Frontlines: How World Central Kitchen Serves Hope in Crisis - with Linda Roth
When disaster strikes, hunger doesn’t wait. In this episode of Humankindness at Work, you’ll meet Linda Roth - Emmy award-winning journalist and Chief of Communications & Strategy at World Central Kitchen - who shares how food becomes a lifeline, a symbol of hope, and a vehicle for community resilience in the face of crisis. World Central Kitchen has served over 600 million meals in more than 50 countries. They show up within 24 hours of a crisis - through hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and war. What makes them different? They cook the food people actually grew up eating. Because when everything is gone, a taste of home feels like hope. Linda put it beautifully: "We don't ask what religion you are, what political bent you have. We don't ask any questions. All we ask is, “How many meals do you need?" After the LA wildfires, donors told them: "I've been giving to you for years, but I never thought I'd need you." None of us do. That's exactly why this work matters. 🎧 Listen to the full episode and find out how YOU can get involved, even from your own kitchen table. 🌍 LEARN MORE ABOUT WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN HOST AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Jennifer Clark Humankindness at Work Podcast website ➡️ FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SOCIALS!

From Surviving to Supported: One Mom's Mission to Change Parental Mental Health with Vanessa Rio
When Vanessa Rio became a mom, she expected the hard parts. She didn't expect to feel so completely alone. No sleep. Little support. And a healthcare system that told her what she was feeling was "normal" - and to just enjoy every moment. Sound familiar? Instead of accepting this normalcy, Vanessa did something remarkable: she built the support system she needed, and then opened it up to parents everywhere. She founded Mothering Minds - the United Kingdom's first platform offering online therapy and support groups for new and expectant parents. And then? She picked up her family and moved off-grid to the Philippines in search of the village of support she'd always wanted. In this episode of the Humankindness at Work Podcast, Vanessa shares about: ✨ The mental health crisis hiding inside new parenthood ✨ Why modern society has "de-centered" the mother ✨ How to build your own village, even in an individualistic culture ✨ Simple ways all of us can show up for the parents in our lives LEARN MORE ABOUT MOTHERING MINDS HOST AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Jennifer Clark Humankindness at Work Podcast website ➡️ FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SOCIALS!

The Power in a Shower: How BE HEARD is Ending Homelessness One Shower at a Time with Evan Dougood
How long could you go without a shower? A week? Three months? For thousands of people experiencing homelessness and hygiene insecurity across Oklahoma, it's not a hypothetical - it's everyday life. And the impact goes far deeper than physical hygiene. Without consistent access to a shower, people lose confidence, dignity, and the sense that they matter to the world around them. In this episode of Humankindness at Work, you'll meet Evan Dougood, founder of the Be Heard Movement, a unique mobile outreach organization serving people experiencing homelessness and hygiene insecurity in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Evan's story includes couch-surfing and navigating the kind of instability that most teenagers never face. While playing college basketball in Pennsylvania, his father fell ill in Tulsa, and Evan left everything behind. What he found there changed the course of his life. Be Heard started with a camera and Evan’s desire to tell the stories of Tulsa’s homeless youth. It has become a story of empathetic ingenuity at its finest. Be Heard brings shower and laundry trailers, a clothing trailer and more directly to those who need it. In this conversation, you'll hear: • Why hygiene access is a human dignity issue • How Be Heard serves those experiencing homelessness and hygiene insecurity • The partnership model that brings together churches, city government, and businesses • The world's first virtual volunteer vending machine • What it looks like to truly see and honor your neighbor This episode will challenge the way you think about homelessness, hygiene, and what it means to be a good neighbor. ABOUT BE HEARD Be Heard is a mobile outreach nonprofit based in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, providing hygiene access, clothing, haircuts, and community connection to people experiencing homelessness and hygiene insecurity.

Flashfood: A Solution to Food Waste and Food Insecurity with Esther Cohn
Did you know 40% of all the food we produce in North America gets thrown away, while 1 in 7 people face food insecurity in the United States? In this episode of the Humankindness at Work Podcast, you'll meet Esther Cohn, VP of Communications at Flashfood, who is quietly changing the way we think about groceries, dignity, and community through a single app. Flashfood partners with grocery stores to discount fresh, surplus food before it goes to waste. Shoppers get great deals on the items they already buy, and grocers reduce their environmental footprint. Everyone wins. Since 2020, grocery prices have risen nearly 30%. In the US, 1 in 7 people face food insecurity. And yet, $370 billion in edible food is thrown away in North America every year. FlashFood is one creative solution working to change that. If you've ever wanted to do something about hunger or food waste but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you. 🔗 LEARN MORE ABOUT FLASHFOOD HOST AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Jennifer Clark Humankindness at Work Podcast website ➡️ FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SOCIALS!
