| From Passion to Purpose | 16 Dec 2025 | 00:05:00 | |
Hello, friends. Welcome back to From Passion to Purpose. I’m your host, Shama Shams, and today’s episode is going to be a little different. It’s not an interview, and it’s not a leadership conversation. It’s a personal update, and it comes with a mixture of pride, gratitude, and a little tenderness. When I launched this podcast in January of last year, my goal was simple: Since then, this podcast has become so much more than I ever imagined.
This community—you—has been such a gift. And that’s why this next part feels both necessary and difficult. I’ve decided to take a temporary break from the podcast. Not because the work is any less important. Not because I’ve run out of stories to share. But because, like many of the leaders I interview, I believe deeply in honoring seasons. Some seasons call us to pour outward, and others call us to regroup, rebuild, and realign so we can continue showing up with integrity. Over the past year, my life has expanded in beautiful ways— And as much as I love this podcast, I want to give it the time, creativity, and energy it deserves. During this break, I’ll be dreaming into what this next chapter of From Passion to Purpose looks like. To each of my guests—thank you. And to every nonprofit leader who wakes up every day believing in the power of community, you are why this podcast exists. To learn more about Shama Shams, visit Case for Support Consulting.
