In this episode of The KIDD and Friends Podcast, we sit down with April Chavez—former law enforcement officer, lupus warrior, and the inspiring founder of Driven Livin’ LLC. From overcoming a life-altering diagnosis to becoming a global influencer and host of The Wellness Driven Life Show, April shares how she turned adversity into impact. We explore her path to building a transformative wellness company, her shift from policing to purpose, and how spirituality and resilience now fuel her mission to empower others. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing, hustle, and heart can lead to true freedom.

About Me

Former Host of " Comin at Ya Podcast" with 400+ shows on all of the major platforms. January of 2024 I ventured off on my own with my new Podcast. I am interested in speaking to unique people with interesting stories or topics. I have spoken to Scientists, Stuntmen, Love guru's, Self help experts, Life coaches, Business owners, as well as many people with very uniques stories. My goal is to speak to people I find interesting. I am open to speaking about many topics from self help to the paranormal and everything in between. I am a good interviewer interested in the people I am speaking to. Your accomplishments are great and I love to hear about them. But what I really am interested in is the person and how they got to the accolades part of their story.
