What if advocacy isn’t just for politicians or activists—but for everyday people like you?
In this episode of Thinking That Matters, host Elizabeth Mahusay sits down with Kelly Rudiger, a real estate professional and lifelong advocate whose passion for people and policy runs deep. From city council meetings to courtroom testimonies, Kelly has made a life out of showing up, speaking up, and standing in the gap for others.
💥 What You’ll Gain From This Episode:
A new lens on advocacy—how it can show up in parenting, real estate, politics, and nonprofits
Insight into how your vote actually impacts your home, taxes, and future rights
The story of how gaming helped her son pursue biomedical engineering at Purdue
Why she believes real estate isn’t just a business—it’s a platform for service
A look inside CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and how everyday people support children in the foster system
You’ll hear about her early passion for social impact (hint: it started with a fishbowl of nickels and the Jerry Lewis Telethon), why she stalked Elizabeth Taylor’s yacht (yep), and how she became an advocate long before she had a title for it.
Kelly’s perspective will challenge how you think about service, civic engagement, and influence. She doesn’t just talk about making a difference—she lives it, from her professional life to her volunteer work and everything in between.
💡 Why This Matters: “When you cultivate thinking that matters, you can advocate in ways that truly matter.”
This episode will help you recognize the quiet (and not-so-quiet) ways you can start making a difference right where you are.
🎧 Listen now—and discover how your everyday choices can have extraordinary impact.
