About HER Business

If you feel like you’re constantly applying for grants but not seeing results, this episode will challenge your approach.

This week we’re joined by The CEO of Grant Writing Firm, Dr. Rielly Keyser, a national leader in grant consulting, to unpack what most organizations get wrong about funding—and how to shift from reactive applications to intentional strategy.

From grant readiness to post-award management, this conversation is a real look at how to secure funding that actually supports your mission long-term.

This isn’t about chasing money. It’s about building sustainability.

On this episode of About HER Business, we sit down with Sunshine, a nurse, CNA instructor, author, and founder who has turned her personal journey into a powerful mission of healing and community impact. What began as a small online group in 2019 has grown into meaningful community events like her annual Mental Health Tea Party and Senior Luncheon—spaces designed to bring awareness to mental health while celebrating families and graduating seniors.

Sunshine also created Chainbreakers, a mental health support community that started in 2021 and has since evolved from monthly in-person gatherings to virtual sessions that reach even more people. Through her podcast Truth Be Told, she continues giving individuals a safe space to share their truth every week.

In this conversation, Sunshine shares what it looks like to lead with faith, build a purpose-driven mission while working in healthcare, and create spaces where transparency and healing can happen.

If you’re a woman entrepreneur, community leader, or someone passionate about mental health advocacy, this episode will inspire you to turn your story into impact.
