In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Karen Henrich, founder of Moment by Moment Photography, a nonprofit with over two decades of compassion and service. Moment by Moment provides free in-hospital and hospice portrait sessions for families of children facing life-impacting illnesses, offering not just photos, but lasting memories of love, courage, and hope.

To date, they’ve documented the stories of more than 8,000 families, earning national recognition from NBC Bay Area Proud, Children’s Hospice International, and Diablo Magazine’s Threads of Hope Award.

Karen’s story is a powerful reminder of how art and empathy can bring healing and light to even the darkest moments.

In this episode of The Savvy Giving Gal Podcast, I welcome a true powerhouse couple, Natalia and Dr. Ryan Lazarus. You’ve heard their voices separately in past episodes, but today they join me together to share a wealth of wisdom and inspiration.

Natalia is just one month away from an extraordinary feat, The Great World Race, running seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. She’s also the author of The Inner Race, a powerful book that helps women navigate midlife and reignite their inner spark through bold, life-changing challenges.

Her husband, Dr. Ryan Lazarus, is a leading functional medicine practitioner, founder of The Lazarus Method, and author of the newly released The Essential Health Playbook: A Holistic Method to Beat Fatigue, Boost Strength, & Heal Your Gut.

Together, they share insights we can all apply in our daily lives from simple habits that improve health and strengthen the immune system, to the importance of community, and the power of pursuing our own inspired challenges.

Tune in! This conversation is packed with encouragement, practical tips, and wisdom that can truly transform the way we approach our well-being and our purpose.

In this special episode, I’m taking you on a heartfelt journey back through some of my favorite moments from Season One. Over 25 inspiring episodes, my guests have shown us the incredible truth: when we help others, we don’t just change their lives, we transform our own.

I’m sharing my top five tips to enhance your well-being and five simple acts of kindness you can start doing today. These aren’t complicated or time-consuming, just small, powerful steps that can bring more joy, connection, and purpose into your everyday life.

And here’s the best part: science backs it up. Research shows that kindness and giving boost levels of serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, the “feel-good” chemicals in your brain. Acts of generosity lower stress, reduce inflammation, and even support heart health. In other words, by giving to others, you’re giving yourself a longer, healthier, and happier life.

This episode is for you if you’re ready to discover simple and practical ways to up-level your well-being, learn how kindness directly improves mental and physical health, and feel inspired to take action today with small steps that make a big difference.

Listen and start your journey to a more joyful, healthy, and purpose-driven life, one act of kindness at a time.
