From Surviving Trauma to Slaying Dragons ft. Kim Valentine |

Most people can’t imagine what it’s like to be on your own at 14. To be pregnant at 15. To raise a child, join the military, go to law school—without a high school diploma, without connections, without a roadmap.

But Kim Valentine lived it. And she didn’t just survive—she turned every hardship into fuel for a life of impact.

In this episode of Art of Purpose, Kenny sits down with Kim to unpack her extraordinary story—from childhood abandonment and homelessness to becoming a U.S. Marine and one of the most respected advocates for victims of elder abuse in California. Kim shares what it really takes to build a life of purpose when no one is betting on you, how she leads with both grit and heart, and why her mission to protect the vulnerable is so personal.

She also opens up about starting her own firm, building a trauma-informed team, and launching a nonprofit that serves the homeless and housing-insecure. This is not a story of luck. It’s a story of fierce determination, radical empathy, and building the future you wish someone had built for you.

If you’ve ever doubted your path, felt like you don’t belong, or questioned whether your past disqualifies you—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
