Sometimes your favorite episodes are the ones where two friends just sit down and talk honestly about charity work, wildlife, poker nights, and why nobody honks in Utah. This is one of those. Terry Corwin - nonprofit founder, documentary co-producer, and proud mother of two sons and two dogs - joins Gabbing with Girlfriends for an episode that covers everything from building Lion's Heart (now in 32 states, 20K kids, millions of hours of community services and counting!) to uncovering Orange County's major role in the surf and skate world, to mountain life. Terry is sharp, funny, and completely unfiltered about what it actually takes to run a nonprofit, make an award-winning documentary, and raise kids who give back. This is the kind of friend every woman needs in her corner and the kind of conversation that makes you want to do more, be more, and maybe also volunteer more. Come for the gossip, stay for 2.3 million hours.
