Darcy Olsen has spent decades in the political arena, but her greatest legacy is in the lives of children. As president and CEO of the Center for the Rights of Abused Children, she has been at the forefront of enacting groundbreaking legislation to protect kids trapped in an unforgiving system. Beyond policy, her story is deeply personal—Darcy has fostered 10 children and adopted four, living out the mission she champions.
In this powerful episode, she joins us to share both victories and heartbreak: the reforms that are giving children a chance at safety and belonging, and the systemic failures that still leave far too many vulnerable.
With honesty and urgency, Darcy reveals what it takes to change laws, transform lives, and why the fight for America’s most at-risk children is far from over.
Tune in for an inspiring and sobering conversation that will challenge your assumptions and call you to action.
