    S1 EP3: Womxn’s inter-generational dialogue with Kt McBratney, Karen Ko, and Anne Stadler
    May 19 2020

    On today's episode we hear inter-generational perspectives from three women. We're lucky to have guests in their 30s, 60s, and one who is on the cusp of their 90th birthday.

    KT McBratney is the Co-Founder of OwnTrail, Karen Ko is retired after 25 years at the City of Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods, and Anne Stadler is one of the founders of Third Place Commons in Lake Forest Park, WA and works with the Association of Beloved Communities.

    Our guests spend time discussing how they like to care for others and how they like to be cared for, and then jump into different projects they are working on.

    Listen to our guests discuss sensory gardens, innovative ways to create more mentorship for and by womxn, and how we create a future centered on belonging during and after COVID-19.
