The Cozy Impact Pod with Malia and Julia
Welcome to The Cozy Impact Pod where we open the door to topics that impactful people and conscious leaders constantly think about but rarely get to talk about. We’re destigmatizing, playing, and laughing our way to a greater sense of belonging for our friends in helping professions - from social entrepreneurs like ourselves to activists, nonprofit and social impact folks, educators, and anyone who wants to contribute to making the world a better place. Welcome home. Connect with us!
