About this listen

 Eric S. Lee is the Executive Director of Full Circle Restorative Justice (FCRJ), where he leads transformative work in both the criminal justice system and schools across Colorado’s 11th Judicial District in the central mountain region. Under his leadership, FCRJ is implementing restorative justice practices that shift punitive systems toward healing and accountability. A major focus of his work is transforming schools into communities where every student feels a sense of belonging and connection. The vision is clear: to create a school system where every young person knows they matter, where those most at risk are recognized for their authentic, God-given strengths, and given the opportunity to rise above their circumstances, discover their purpose, and live a life of meaning and contribution.

Eric’s story is one of resilience, redemption, and purpose. Overcoming drug addiction early in life has led to 32 years of clean living, sobriety, and peace. Surviving the collapse of a business empire and bankruptcy redirected him toward a life grounded in service as an author, physical fitness trainer, and stress relief coach. Enduring a failed first marriage and a painful divorce deepened his empathy, compassion, and understanding of the human experience, ultimately paving the way to a fulfilling and joyful partnership with his wife, Trudi.

Today, Eric lives in the beautiful state of Colorado, relishing the outdoors through hiking, camping, backpacking, mountain biking, team sports like basketball and football, archery, and cooking gourmet meals for his wife at home. Above all, he treasures being a father to his three grown children—Erica, Forrest, and Justin—whom he considers his greatest joy and accomplishment.

Eric is also a published author of three books, including 29 Degrees – How to Live a Life of Inner Peace, Joy and Purpose Regardless of Circumstances, which reflects his own journey of growth and transformation. In addition to his role as Executive Director, he continues to work as a Health and Wellness Coach, helping individuals manage stress, reclaim inner peace, and live fully aligned lives.Copyright The Transformation Network Hygiene & Healthy Living

  • Kenny Wilcox and Clark Quattrocchi - Mentorship Masters at Family Youth Initiative (FYI)

    Kenny Wilcox and Clark Quattrocchi - Mentorship Masters at Family Youth Initiative (FYI)
    Mar 3 2026
    In this episode of The Spiritual Justice Show — Where inner peace meets collective purpose, we welcome two leaders who embody what it means to invest in the next generation with consistency, humility, and heart: Kenny Wilcox and Clark Quattrocchi of FYI in Chaffee County, Colorado.
    Kenny, coordinator of FYI’s adult-to-youth mentoring program, has been championing young people for what he jokingly calls his “entire alleged adult life.” Once told in high school that he would someday be a coach, he has grown into exactly that—someone who sees potential, calls it forward, and walks alongside youth with steadiness and belief. His deep love for family and community shines through in the way he approaches mentorship—not as a program, but as a relationship.
    Clark, Coordinator for the Youth in Action Program, carries that same spirit of connection into his work with middle schoolers and pre-kinders, creating spaces where mentorship flows both ways and leadership is cultivated early. Whether he’s on the river, the trails, or the slopes, Clark brings an energy of movement and engagement into his work—reminding us that growth happens through shared experience.
    For the past 18 years, FYI has been strengthening Chaffee County through prevention, connection, and community collaboration. Serving families, youth, and the broader community, FYI’s personalized approach blends evidence-based programs with something equally powerful: human connection. Their youth programs provide safe, nurturing environments where young people develop life skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

  • Holding the Weight Well: Responsibility, Impact, and the Measure of What Matters

    Holding the Weight Well: Responsibility, Impact, and the Measure of What Matters
    Feb 17 2026
    This episode explores the often-unspoken weight that comes with leading work rooted in youth, justice, and community transformation. As the show prepares to welcome more community leaders and organizations, we pause to examine a core tension many values-driven leaders carry: how to hold responsibility for real impact while navigating systems that prioritize numbers, outputs, and metrics over lived experience and human change.
    This is not a conversation about burnout or isolation, but about discernment—how to lead with integrity when success is measured in spreadsheets, yet transformation is felt in moments that cannot always be counted. Together, Eric and Dr. Pat reflect on what it means to stay grounded, accountable, and spiritually aligned while stewarding work that asks for both heart and rigor.
    This episode also sets the stage for upcoming guest conversations, offering listeners a clearer lens through which to understand the complexity and courage of leaders doing this work on the ground. It invites reflection on how we define impact, how we balance inner clarity with external accountability, and how we ensure that what we measure never replaces what we value.
