Podcasthon 2026 | Preventing Divorce-Induced Poverty with Susan Tripi of The Sparrow Collective

Описание: This episode is part of the 4th edition of Podcasthon—the world's largest podcast charity initiative, bringing together podcasters globally to raise awareness for important causes. For one week, more than a thousand podcasts highlight a charity of their choice, uniting voices to make an impact and increase awareness for amazing nonprofits.

In this special Podcasthon 2026 episode, Wendy welcomes back Susan Tripi, founder of The Sparrow Collective—the first supportive living community in Massachusetts exclusively for women transitioning through divorce. Susan turned her own devastating divorce into a mission to prevent what the statistics reveal: 80% of women are unprepared to navigate divorce, 44% fall into poverty post-divorce, and $113.5 billion in child support sits in arrears.

The Sparrow Collective isn't a shelter. It's a sanctuary. A fully equipped, intentionally designed community providing safe housing, comprehensive empowerment programming, and holistic support for women in the critical 1-3 year window after divorce—the period when women are most vulnerable to slipping into poverty.

They explore:
-Why slowing down and allowing space to breathe is essential when building something transformational
-What happened when the "perfect" property fell through—and how Susan held the vision with loose hands
-Why this model is replicable and scalable across underutilized properties nationwide

This is a conversation about holding big vision with open hands, trusting divine timing even when doors close, and understanding that the energy behind the movement doesn't stop when one opportunity ends.
