Thriving Beyond Food Insecurity

In this month’s episode of The Giving Garden Podcast, Martina sits down with two remarkable voices from Project Bread’s Council of Experts, Paula Tobon and Giovanny Zuniga. Both once faced food insecurity, and both now use their lived experience to guide powerful, community centered solutions that help others not only access nourishment but reclaim dignity and possibility.Their stories remind us that food insecurity is not a personal failure, it is a systemic issue, and change becomes possible when those who have walked the path lead the conversation. Paula and Giovanny share what helped them move from surviving to thriving, how they use their experiences to shape Project Bread’s programs, and what each of us can do to support families across the country who are still struggling.This episode is an invitation to listen with an open heart and to imagine a future where care, community, and lived experience guide the way forward.Tune in, gather for good, and be inspired by the strength and hope that grow when we center real stories and real voices.
