On this week’s episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Michelle Scerbo, founder of Wish Upon a Teen, and Nancy Sovran, the organization’s Executive Director — two incredible women who are bringing hope, comfort, and joy to teens facing serious medical conditions.

Wish Upon a Teen is a nonprofit organization that provides creative, social, and emotional support to teenagers who are living with complex medical challenges. Michelle founded the organization in 2011 after recognizing a significant gap in care for teens in hospital settings. While many programs focus on young children, teens are often overlooked — and Michelle decided it was time to change that.

From hospital room makeovers and personalized gifts to inclusive prom experiences and special outings, Wish Upon a Teen helps teens feel seen, celebrated, and empowered. Their signature Design My Room® program transforms sterile hospital rooms into personalized sanctuaries that reflect each teen’s unique personality and style — offering comfort, control, and a sense of home during extended hospital stays.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

✨ Michelle’s inspiring journey from working in adolescent development to founding Wish Upon a Teen;

✨ How Nancy became involved and why this work is so personal to her;

✨ The impact of the Design My Room® program and how it transforms the hospital experience for teens;
