For longtime radio host Coppelia Acevedo, life has been full of unexpected turns — from moving her young family across the country on a leap of faith, to walking alongside her husband through serious health challenges, to raising a daughter with life-threatening food allergies. Through it all, her voice has been a constant source of encouragement for countless listeners and her heart for community shines just as bright off-air as it does behind the mic.
In this episode of MoM, Coppelia joins host Meagan to share her journey back to Houston, where she now serves as Director of Fundraising for Hope Media Group. With warmth, humor, and honesty, she talks about what Hispanic Heritage Month means to her as a proud Puerto Rican, the importance of empowering kids to advocate for themselves, and why trusting God in uncertain seasons has shaped her family’s story. Coppelia’s words remind us that motherhood isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about showing up with faith, love, and a willingness to keep moving forward.
