This week, Emlah is joined by Robin McAllister-Zaas, a life-transition coach, speaker, and social entrepreneur on a mission to help women break free from outdated roles and embrace bold, purpose-driven lives. Known for her no-nonsense, "it's now or never" approach, Robin shares the fierce encouragement and clarity she brings to her clients—and the lessons she's learned from her own journey of loss, reinvention, and resilience.

Robin is also the founder of The Mirth Project, a nonprofit transforming the lives of former foster youth and low-income teens. In this episode, she discusses the inspiration behind The Mirth Project, the critical gaps in holiday support for older children, and her vision to make Columbus a model city where every young person has the opportunity to thrive. Whether you're looking for practical advice, motivation to rewrite your story, or ways to give back to your community, this conversation is packed with insight, heart, and real talk.

  • Volunteering can lead to impactful community initiatives.
  • Programs for older children are often overlooked during Christmas.
