Today we’re joined by Sarah Gwilliam, Founder & Grief Coach at Solace. Join us to learn how Sarah’s work has evolved with the evolution of sustainability and philanthropy to CSR to global citizenship and social impact. We discuss how her parents' military careers inspired her to pursue a career in impact, the value of companies promoting civic engagement, and why talking about grief shouldn’t be taboo. Sarah brought us Kroger's 2022 holiday commercial, "The Magical Cookbook", to evaluate live using our criteria.

The holidays are here and we’re revisiting some of our favorite brands who continue to stand by their values (Bobbie, e.l.f.) and the latest iterations of long-term initiatives (L’Oreal). We also highlight who is using their holiday spots for real impact (John Lewis), and who has some serious missed opportunities to drive true impact (Dunkin Donuts).
