What if the very thing the world told you to hide… became the source of your greatest strength?

On the upcoming episode of Voices of Hope, you’ll hear the remarkable story of someone who spent nearly ten years battling depression, anxiety, and thoughts of ending their own life. Feeling rejected, misunderstood, and searching for something—anything—to fill the emptiness.

But this isn’t a story about despair.

It’s a story about discovering that hope wasn’t somewhere out there… it had been within all along.

Join us as we explore a powerful journey of resilience, authenticity, and the courage to embrace who you truly are. If you or someone you love has ever struggled to find hope, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

Voices of Hope—where resilience finds its voice, and hope inspires the world.

“Lasting impact” isn’t a buzzword when you’re talking about children who need therapy, families who need support, and communities that can’t be served by a single donation and a photo op. We’re joined by Dr. Judith Aguero Ruiz, president of Rotary Club Marbella Cosmopolitan International, to unpack what legacy really looks like when you lead with consistency, compassion, and a clear plan.

We get specific about the service projects driving this Rotary year. Dr. Aguero Ruiz explains why the club prioritizes long-term partnerships, then shares global work with Madre Coraje, supporting children in Mozambique and Peru with essentials like education resources, clothing, and sanitation. We also talk about local needs closer to Marbella and Malaga, including school materials and mental health support such as psychotherapy, plus the real-world challenge of helping organizations expand into bigger spaces when demand grows.

The most moving part of our conversation centers on Cudeca and pediatric neuropediatric neuro rehabilitation for children with terminal illnesses. Beyond clinical care, the mission is quality of life: therapies, safe weekends outside the hospital environment, and memory-making moments like celebrations that remind families they’re not alone. We close on a powerful definition of success and a simple answer to what gives hope: children, love, and kindness, and the reminder that young people are watching how we lead.
