About this listen

In this episode of The Prosperity Lounge, host Joey Ruffalo talks with Lisa Yount (Co-Founder) and Julie Scruggs (Executive Director) of Secret Safe Place for Newborns of Tennessee about the Tennessee Safe Haven Law and its impact on community care, family well-being, and prosperity. Discover how this law — updated in July 2025 to allow 45 days for safe surrender — is saving lives and providing mothers in crisis with a confidential and judgment-free option. We’ll explore the difference between Safe Haven Baby Boxes and in-person surrenders, highlight the emotional and support services available for families, and address common misconceptions about Safe Haven surrenders. Prosperity involves protecting our most vulnerable and investing in strong communities by promoting informed choices and compassionate support.
