Allison Walsh welcomes Vivian Gonzalez, founder and CEO of Park Capital Search and Evergreen, for a powerful conversation about building a meaningful career through clarity, strategy, and self-belief. With more than two decades of experience in private equity and executive search, Vivian has helped organizations scale by placing the right leaders and creating systems that drive growth. But her journey into the industry didn’t follow the typical Wall Street pipeline. Instead, it was shaped by persistence, networking, and a deep commitment to creating opportunities where none existed. As a Latina entrepreneur, mother, and business leader, Vivian brings a unique perspective to leadership and career growth. She shares how she navigated an industry where women represent only a small percentage of leadership roles, and why emotional intelligence, relationship-building, and integrity are powerful advantages in business. Throughout the conversation, Vivian and Allison explore how strategic thinking can transform career decisions, why chasing “shiny opportunities” can derail long-term success, and how learning to bet on yourself can unlock doors you never imagined possible. They also discuss manifestation, self-awareness, and the importance of reflection as a tool for personal and professional growth. Whether you're navigating a career transition, stepping into leadership, or building a path that doesn’t follow the traditional blueprint, Vivian’s story offers both inspiration and practical guidance for creating a career aligned with your purpose and long-term vision.

This episode is a celebration of courage, compassion, and the power of purpose. Host Allison Walsh welcomes back her dear friend and changemaker Johanna Kandel, founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, as they honor the organization’s 25th anniversary. What began as Johanna’s deeply personal mission to ensure no one felt as alone as she once did has evolved into one of the nation’s leading nonprofits—offering a free, therapist-led helpline and life-saving support groups that reach more than 30,000 people annually across 88 countries.In this heartfelt conversation, Johanna opens up about transforming pain into purpose, leading with resilience, and creating a movement that has changed the landscape of eating disorder recovery. She shares lessons on courage, collaboration, and hope, revealing how her 21-year-old self’s determination became a global force for good. Listeners will walk away feeling inspired to believe in their own ability to create impact — and reminded that when we heal together, we rise together. Together, they discuss:How Johanna turned her personal recovery into the National Alliance for Eating Disorders at age 21 and built it into a global lifeline.The Alliance’s real-world impact: therapist-led helplines (~8,000 calls/year), 21 free support groups, ~30,000 participants annually, and 290,000 searches on findedhelp.com.Why eating disorders are serious biopsychosocial brain illnesses (not vanity) and the importance of getting care from trained, specialty providers.How free, clinician-led support groups and peer connection (“healed people heal people”) close the access gap for people who can’t get traditional treatment.The role of social media, weight stigma, and emerging trends (including GLP-1 conversations) in shaping public understanding and care needs.Johanna’s innovation roadmap: partnering with social platforms and AI (OpenAI, Cloud, Gemini) to meet people where they are and expand reach.What’s next for the Alliance — an ambitious goal to scale the helpline to 7 days a week, increase funding and partnerships, and keep driving down stigma.How listeners can take action: share resources, support the Alliance, or find help via findedhelp.com.

On today’s episode of She Believed She Could™, host Allison Walsh welcomes Jessica Galo, Director of Specialty Care at AdventHealth for Children. With over 16 years of experience in pediatric care and a background in social work, Jessica has dedicated her career to supporting families facing the challenges of both physical and mental health.Jessica oversees the Be a Mindleader initiative, a community-wide effort powered by AdventHealth for Children and Heart of Florida United Way. This movement encourages open conversations about mental health, equips parents and educators with actionable tools, and empowers kids to step into leadership roles as advocates for themselves and their peers. Together, Allison and Jessica discuss:The rising pediatric mental health crisis and the importance of early action. How Be a Mindleader is reducing stigma and creating safe spaces for conversations at home, in schools, and across communities. The importance of community collaboration in making resources accessible for families. The growth of the Mindleader Ambassador Program and why peer leadership is so powerful. Expanding support through multilingual resources and grassroots partnerships across Central Florida. Listeners will also hear about real success stories, such as how AdventHealth’s embedded mental health counselors in primary care practices are helping families uncover the root causes of children’s struggles—including bullying and anxiety—and connecting them with the right support. This episode delivers inspiration, practical resources, and a reminder that one conversation can change, or even save, a life.Memorable MomentsOn starting the movement: “This idea to have a stigma reduction campaign—or destigmatization campaign—which is what the Be a Mindleader movement is, really bubbled up… If you can have conversations when things are not in crisis, when they’re maybe littler feelings, then that allows you to have those bigger conversations later when the feelings are bigger and the stakes are higher.” On pandemic lessons: “The pandemic really shone a light on the impact to not only adults and mental health, but kids and mental health and well-being… that kind of was a spark to really get the attention of people that needed to be paying attention, including the healthcare world, but also donors, people in the community.” On community reach: “This is the first time in AdventHealth history where we have had a campaign in three different languages out in our community, and really targeted and meant to support the community.” On everyday parenting: “Car rides are a great time for us to connect with our kids. All of a sudden, they start opening up… And so it’s really just being intentional about providing that time, providing that space.” On empowering youth: “Being a part of the ambassador program, it allows a kiddo to say, ‘I am a Mindleader’… And kids are so excited to do this work.” About Jessica GaloJessica Galo serves as the Director of Specialty Care at AdventHealth for Children, where she has spent more than 16 years leading efforts to support children with complex healthcare needs and their families.
