In this uplifting episode of Energy in Action, host Marcy Young is joined by Lisa Kollins and Taryn Cozzy of The Superhero Project—a nonprofit that uses art to highlight the strengths and identities of children and teens living with serious illnesses and disabilities. Lisa, the project’s founder, and Taryn, the creative director, walk listeners through their powerful process: from the initial strengths-based interview with each child to the creation of custom superhero posters designed by volunteer artists worldwide.
By focusing on the child’s favorite activities, unique traits, and hopes for positive change, each poster becomes more than just art—it’s a celebration of individuality and resilience, reminding families of the bright, imaginative spirit that endures beyond any medical diagnosis. Tune in to hear heartwarming stories of kids stepping into their heroic alter egos, and learn how your family can be a part of The Superhero Project’s global community of kindness.
