Carrie Romano, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), joins us to share how her breast cancer diagnosis reshaped her understanding of resilience, leadership, and the power of people to rise. She talks about the unexpected ways her team showed up during treatment, the intentional practices she relies on to bring light into hard days, and why choosing small sparks of joy can shift everything.

With more than 20 years of mission-driven nonprofit leadership, Carrie brings her energy, heart, and clarity to this conversation. She shares why she believes so deeply in the work of RMHC, what keeps her grounded in hope, and how service and working in the non-profit space has shaped her life. It’s a conversation about hope, community, and the beauty we can find even in seasons of uncertainty.
