Finding Your Voice Through Mentorship with Jennifer Gonzalez

Описание: Jennifer Gonzalez found her answer, and her community, through Stoked, a youth mentorship nonprofit that uses action sports to empower the next generation.

In this heartfelt conversation, host Steve Larosiliere sits down with Jennifer to explore her two-decade journey with Stoked. From discovering the organization as a young volunteer to becoming a dedicated mentor who found her voice, built lifelong friendships, and learned invaluable lessons about confidence, community, and connection. Jennifer opens up about how working with kids through Stoked not only shaped her approach to parenting but also sparked unexpected personal growth that influenced her entire career path.

Now a health and wellness entrepreneur specializing in gut health and colonic therapy, Jennifer shares how the nurturing mindset she developed as a Stoked mentor continues to inform her work today. The conversation weaves together powerful themes: the transformative impact of mentorship, the surprising connection between gut health and mental well-being, and why creating space for fun and play matters more than we realize, for kids and adults alike.

As Stoked celebrates its 20th anniversary, this episode is a beautiful reminder of how one organization can ripple out to touch countless lives, creating waves of positive change that last for generations.
