    176: Exploring Our Values: No One Is Broken

    176: Exploring Our Values: No One Is Broken

    In this episode, Ashley and Stephanie explore a value at the core of our organization – our belief that no one is broken. While labels such as “broken” can be well-intentioned to describe the hurt, pain, and suffering that someone is enduring, we believe that at our core, humans are still whole. There is an untouchable, unbreakable essence to us – our SPARK. We discuss how we’ve seen this to be true working with vulnerable populations over the last 10 years, including a recent training in Little Rock, with an organization that works with people experiencing homelessness. Tune in for a very hopeful message that we have come to rely upon ourselves during those times when we feel broken.

    In this episode, Brooke and Stephanie kick off a new podcast series discussing our eight values. These values act as our compass, guiding both business and personal decisions. In honor of the month of Valentine’s Day, this episode explores why we believe that Love Wins. For us, this value points to a state of mind characterized by clarity, ease, compassion, and understanding. When you come from a place of Love (your SPARK), you tend to ‘win’ at whatever you are trying to do. Difficult conversations become easier. Problems have solutions. Society is transformed for the better, as MLK and others have shown us.Tune in to find out if Brooke managed to let Love Win as she angrily stood in her closet wishing her husband were different.
