Episode Summary

Shilpa sits down with the incredible Lisa Avila, nonprofit strategist, founder of Poppy Grove, host of The Rich Nonprofit podcast, and fellow woman who chose herself when it wasn't easy. With 25+ years in business strategy and clients who have raised over a million dollars in funding, Lisa is redefining what it means to create impact with money, heart, and intention. This conversation will light a fire under you.

What We Cover

  • Why choosing yourself is one of the hardest and most powerful decisions a woman can make
  • How a classroom of ESL kids sparked Lisa's advocacy journey and eventually her entire career
  • What a "rich nonprofit" actually means (hint: it's about more than money)
  • How to start small even if you have a full-time career, kids, and a packed schedule
  • The qualities that make women succeed in the nonprofit space
  • Why manifesting without a plan means absolutely nothing

Key Takeaways

  • Follow what breaks your heart. The cause that keeps you up at night is your starting point.
  • Start in your community. You don't need a grand plan on day one — volunteer an hour here, show up there, and let your mission reveal itself.
  • Treat your nonprofit like a business. Heart alone won't sustain it. Strategy, boundaries, and ambition are non-negotiable.
  • Rich means many things. Rich in love, rich in resources, rich in soul — and yes, rich in money, because more of it means more impact.
  • Action activates the vision. Manifestation is beautiful, but without a plan and real steps, nothing is coming for you.
  • Take care of yourself first. You cannot pour from an empty cup, especially when you're trying to change the world.
