In this episode of The Table I Built, I’m joined by Lovern J. Gordon, founder of Love Life Now Foundation, for a powerful conversation about leadership, healing, and what it means to keep showing up — even when life is hard.

Lovern’s work centers on supporting women during and after trauma, offering both compassion and practical guidance. From helping women navigate moments of crisis to securing safe shelter and housing, her leadership is rooted in dignity, choice, and real-world support.

In our conversation, we explore:

• What healing looks like in practice, not theory

• How lived experience shapes leadership

• The work women do while navigating unseen challenges

• What it takes to move forward with clarity and self-trust

• How legacy is built through service and humanity

This episode creates space for honest reflection and reminds us that resilience is not abstract — it’s lived.

If you or someone you know is navigating domestic violence or unsafe situations, support is available. In the U.S., you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org.
