Joy Burkhard Los Angeles. Founder. 2020 Mom Project. Project Director. California Maternal Mental Health Collaborative. I’ve been blessed with an ability to see the forest for the trees; to see the big picture and opportunities to solve problems or make something even better. I often find myself dreaming of solutions. I’m compelled to take action. Through my work in the social sector as the founder of 2020 Mom Project, a campaign of the California Maternal Mental Health Collaborative, I have been provided an outlet to create positive community change. 2020MomProject.com

Denver. Founder. Love Animals.

My life’s mission is to do something so large and impactful that it can improve the future of every species of animal around the globe, because every species faces great threats. My new nonprofit, LoveAnimals.org, is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for my whole life, and through it I can have real impact to improve the lives of animals everywhere.

I am passionate about life, movement, family, giving, teaching, and learning. I believe movement can bring us all together and heal our hearts and souls. Movement can teach us that we all have endless possibilities within and can dance like no one is watching, every day of our lives. With each breath I take I dance, I give, and I create.

My greatest passion in this life is love. To give and receive love. This means making space for it by connecting with myself, my husband, our three children, and our community, every day. All of my favorite activities share that common thread of love: being out in nature, dancing, practicing my medicine, enjoying nourishing food, travelling around the world, and talking with my friends. I can’t live a single day without love!
