Is there a challenge you’ve faced or a hardship you’ve endured that could be transformed into something bigger than yourself? On today’s episode of This Is Woman’s Work, we’re joined by Courtney Johnson, a visionary entrepreneur and passionate advocate who turned personal tragedy into impactful change.

At the young age of 23, inspired by her father’s battle with lung cancer and the comfort meals brought during his treatment, Courtney founded Culinary Care, a Chicago-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals and families fighting cancer. Over the past 11 years, Culinary Care has provided over 40,000 free meals, reducing loneliness, restoring hope, and fostering a sense of community for those in the midst of their toughest battles. 

This episode is a powerful reminder that we all have the choice and opportunity to transform our pain into purpose. Listen as Courtney shares her journey, her insights on resilience, and her mission to create meaningful change.

You are stronger than you might feel today, and you have purpose waiting to be uncovered.
