What begins as lighthearted chatter quickly shifts into a powerful, deeply personal conversation about a mom’s journey as a mother, advocate, athlete, and leader. This powerful episode with Tricia Benton — leader, advocate, and 2023 Ainsley’s Angels Joe Orth Award recipient — navigating two premature births to raising her “triple‑threat” daughter Bailey and building a thriving Ainsley’s Angels community in Southern California, Tricia shares a raw, inspiring journey of resilience, family, and choosing joy even in the hardest moments.  Tricia’s story is a reminder that advocacy often begins and leadership expands during our lived experiences.
