Her toys are designed in Hawaii, made inCalifornia and used on beaches across the US. They will compost overnight in acountertop composter. (Yes, you read that right!)
    She now partners with manufacturers to provide this compostable, non-toxic, plant-based material, increasing the impact andaccess to alternatives to fossil-based plastics. Beach toys are just thebeginning…
    When not reducing plastic waste, Kate boogieboards with her two (now teenage) boys, surfs with friends, and chases herthree rescue dogs with her (retired Air Force) husband on windward Oahu.

  • #47 The STEPS Foundation Empowering Special Ops Spouses

    Title: The Goode Show with

    Angie Dejarnette, Founder of The STEPS Foundation Empowering Special Ops
    Spouses

     

    This week on The Goode Show, I sit down with my good friend Angie Dejarnette, Founder of

    The STEPS Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to empowering spouses of Special
    Operations Forces (SOF) as they navigate the challenging transition from
    military to civilian life.

    As a SOF spouse,

    Angie saw firsthand the lack of resources available for spouses during this
    life-changing period. That’s why she created the STEPS Foundation—to provide
    holistic, personalized support for SOF families.

    The STEPS program

    is designed to guide SOF spouses through every aspect of the transition
    journey, from mental health and identity renewal to financial readiness,
    physical well-being, and employment opportunities. Angie and her team bring expertise,
    compassion, and a much-needed dose of humor to help these incredible spouses
    find their footing in a new chapter of life.

    In this episode,

    we discuss Angie’s journey, the mission behind the STEPS Foundation, and why
    supporting the spouses of SOF veterans is crucial. We also discuss her personal
    experience and the lessons she’s learned while helping others navigate their
    own transitions.
