Available only through the audiobook digital version – Brandi Carlile sings acoustic (guitar or piano) very intimate versions of the songs inspired by, mentioned, or about each thematic chapter. The songs appear at the end of each chapter, and in total at the end of the book.
Hope to see you at the Book Group - next week - @7pm CT, Wed., January 14th, 2026!
Financial Student Survey
This is an anonymous survey being conducted by a MN High School student interested in the experiences of Rural Women. The research is for an AP class and explores how rural communities view digital savings and loan tools. Your input will directly support research aimed at expanding financial access for women across the state. Your perspective truly makes a difference. Your voice matters, and even a few minutes of your time helps strengthen understanding and support for rural women across Minnesota. Please be as honest and open as you feel comfortable. Your genuine perspective is what makes this research meaningful.
Morning Connections
Morning Connections is an informal meeting series that consist of light conversation over zoom. If you’re looking for a space to take time for yourself to just connect with others, we invite you to join us. Bring beverages, children, breakfast, pets, or work – the goal is to connect informally with other women and a host who will facilitate. We look forward to networking with you!
Civic Engagement
Vote Run Lead will be hosting a virtual training at 2:30pm CT on Thursday, January 15th for those considering a run for office in 2026.
