The Benjamin Goldberg Foundation’s mission is to inspire and empower children, caregivers, and communities through education, integrative programming, and advocacy of the healing arts.

Our Impact

The Sundays with Wendy Podcast is hosted by Wendy, an advocate for the healing arts and forever Ben’s loving mother.

    That question—What if we never really lose the people we love?—has guided me through some of my darkest days. And it’s the heart of this week’s episode.

    I'm joined by intuitive consultant Mary Roach, who has helped me stay connected to Ben for nearly a decade. Together, we talk about soul contracts, divine timing, and how healing often begins with a shift in perspective. We explore the idea that pain and purpose often walk hand in hand—and that staying connected is part of how we heal. If you’re grieving, curious, or just seeking a moment of reflection, I hope this conversation meets you where you are.

    We explore: What foster youth really need to thrive, why storytelling is a tool for social change, how a film producer ended up launching 7 nonprofits, and what it actually takes to “find happy” in today’s world.
