Turning Pain Into Purpose - with Jessica Bachus


Listen Later

Today's special Mother's Day episode is dedicated to not only all of the mother's out there, but every woman who has lost a child. In this episode, we'll dig deep into the heartbreak of loss and how to turn your pain into your purpose.

Jessica Bachus created Kenzi's Causes after losing her second child in January, 2007. She shares her journey of losing part of herself and the dreams she lost with it. After hitting rock bottom, she channeled her journey of loss into one of creating impact and legacy to honor her daughter's legacy.

She started her nonprofit organization, Dolls for Daughters®, that provides dolls as holiday gifts for girls in need. She expanded Dolls for Daughters® to collect toys for all kids in need in Colorado, and in 2010, with the help of friends, family, and volunteers, Dolls for Daughters® and Toys for Boys® collected 83,428 toys and more for boys and girls.

Since then, 35,693 items have been given to children in Colorado as Kenzi's Causes.

"What makes Jessica special isn't that she turned an awful experience into something good. It's that she has done something that no human is supposed to be able to do. She gave her daughter Kenzi immortality with a legacy that few people could live up to, but to which every person would aspire." The Beanstalk Foundation
