About this listen

 Eric S. Lee is the Executive Director of Full Circle Restorative Justice (FCRJ), where he leads transformative work in both the criminal justice system and schools across Colorado’s 11th Judicial District in the central mountain region. Under his leadership, FCRJ is implementing restorative justice practices that shift punitive systems toward healing and accountability. A major focus of his work is transforming schools into communities where every student feels a sense of belonging and connection. The vision is clear: to create a school system where every young person knows they matter, where those most at risk are recognized for their authentic, God-given strengths, and given the opportunity to rise above their circumstances, discover their purpose, and live a life of meaning and contribution.

Eric’s story is one of resilience, redemption, and purpose. Overcoming drug addiction early in life has led to 32 years of clean living, sobriety, and peace. Surviving the collapse of a business empire and bankruptcy redirected him toward a life grounded in service as an author, physical fitness trainer, and stress relief coach. Enduring a failed first marriage and a painful divorce deepened his empathy, compassion, and understanding of the human experience, ultimately paving the way to a fulfilling and joyful partnership with his wife, Trudi.

Today, Eric lives in the beautiful state of Colorado, relishing the outdoors through hiking, camping, backpacking, mountain biking, team sports like basketball and football, archery, and cooking gourmet meals for his wife at home. Above all, he treasures being a father to his three grown children—Erica, Forrest, and Justin—whom he considers his greatest joy and accomplishment.

Eric is also a published author of three books, including 29 Degrees – How to Live a Life of Inner Peace, Joy and Purpose Regardless of Circumstances, which reflects his own journey of growth and transformation. In addition to his role as Executive Director, he continues to work as a Health and Wellness Coach, helping individuals manage stress, reclaim inner peace, and live fully aligned lives.Copyright The Transformation Network Hygiene & Healthy Living

    Shant'a Johnson is the Executive Director of the Montgomery County Community Action Agency-the locally legislated anti-poverty agency for the county. Holding an MA in Education Administration and Policy, Shant'a has over 20 years of experience in anti-poverty work in the housing and education sectors, and has worked with communities domestically as well as internationally. As a trained poverty-informed coach to organizations, Shant'a also prides herself in doing this work while overcoming the deep impact of poverty and homelessness as a former Head Start parent. She is also passionate about community organizing, dance, her daughter and her fur baby Nala!
    Today’s conversation reminds us that justice is not only about systems — it is also about access, empowerment, and the tools people need to build stable and thriving lives.
    What makes Shant’a’s work especially aligned with the spirit of this show is her heart. She brings not only expertise, but deep care for her community. Whether she is teaching financial principles or facilitating a healing circle with youth, she shows up with presence, passion, and a belief in people’s potential.
    Her work bridges practical empowerment and emotional restoration — helping individuals strengthen both their economic footing and their inner resilience.
    Today, we explore how financial literacy can be an act of justice, how healing spaces create possibility, and how one person’s commitment to community can ripple outward in lasting ways
