🎙️ Welcome to 100 Rural Women and Their Stories — Episode #4
Darcy McKenzie - A Passionate Advocate for Community Involvement
This week, Teresa is joined by Darcy McKenzie who shares her journey from her rural North Dakota roots to her career, transition into being a stay-at-home mom, and community leadership—an inspiring path that shows how everyday experiences can shape meaningful impact. Can one voice really make a difference? Darcy believes it can.
This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that leadership isn’t just about positions—it’s about relationships, support, and showing up for others.
🎧 Tune in and be inspired.
