The Proximity Process
This is a show about how child welfare transformation actually starts with personal transformation. Follow Matt Anderson, a former child welfare executive with 20 years of experience, as he goes deeper into his own process of becoming who he needs to be. Matt has conversations with creative disruptors who help us see how systems can harm and oppress people. Each episode is an invitation to go deeper into your own process of being in service of people rather than systems.

Taking the Leap with Cheri Williams
Today's episode is my conversation with friend and colleague, Cheri Williams. At the age of 49 and 25 years into her career, Cheri made the decision to take the leap. She left an Executive Vice President role with an international non-profit where she had led a multi-state foster care and adoption program. Cheri and I dive into her process, how she came to make this decision, and how she is beginning to navigate entrepreneurship. We end the conversation with the parts of this decision that are scary and unsettling as well as freeing and values aligned. This is the conversation for anyone who is contemplating taking the leap.
