The Courage to Lead: How Charlie Welch Built Melody of Hope

What happens when you stop waiting for permission and start leading with your heart?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Charlie Welch, founder of Melody of Hope, to talk about how she turned her love of music into a movement of healing, faith, and purpose.

We dive into the real behind-the-scenes moments — navigating fear, building a nonprofit from scratch, trusting God when the path wasn't clear, and why vulnerability is the secret weapon to building real community.

Charlie’s story is a reminder that your gifts aren’t random. They’re your calling — and you’re here to use them.

What is YourChapters,YourStory?

It is about the chapters we never wanted to write-pain, betrayal, brokenness, but also the undeniable power we have to turn the page. Hosted by Teresa Schindlbeck, this podcast is about raw, unfiltered stories that shape us and the choices that define what come next. Because your chapter is your story-and only you can own it.
