In this tender and moving episode, I revisit my conversation with Melanie Rodger from the nonprofit organization Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep—a group that provides the priceless gift of professional remembrance portraits to parents grieving the loss of a baby.

Melanie shares her own story of losing her infant son and how that heartbreaking experience inspired her to volunteer—and later work—with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Through her vulnerability, compassion, and insight, Melanie reminds us that healing and service often intertwine in profound ways.

This interview originally aired in May of 2024, but because October marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, I wanted to reshare this important episode to honor those families who have faced unimaginable loss and to remind anyone walking that path that they are not alone.

Have you ever stopped to think about the power behind a simple invitation?

In this episode I share why being an inviter—someone who reaches out, includes, and connects—matters more than ever in today’s lonely world.

You’ll hear how small, sincere invitations can change lives, what often holds us back from inviting, and three simple ways to make inviting and connecting a natural part of your everyday life.

Whether it’s lunch, a walk, or a birthday party—your invitation might mean more than you know.

Ben Lyne is a runner and for over 2 years he kept having the thought that he could use those regular runs to inspire and motivate others…by holding a sign while he ran that says ‘I Believe In You’. He finally got the courage to act on those thoughts a few years ago, and the reaction and feedback he’s received has been tremendous. He’s had many let him know that through this simple act of service he’s lifted them, encouraged them, and even saved their life.

Ben’s story is an inspiring reminder to me that the world is filled with people who need validation, love, and lifting…and it really doesn’t take much to give it to them and to make a difference in their lives. Listen to the podcast to hear more about Ben’s story, a little bit of the logistics behind what he does, and the many people he’s motivated along the way.

I originally aired this episode in December 2023, but I wanted to share it again as a reminder of the power one person truly can have to help, lift, inspire, and make a difference.
