Rachel Cargle has been my friend and hero for years, and it was my great, great honor to be in conversation with her to celebrate her debut book, A RENAISSANCE OF OUR OWN. This book is part memoir, part call to action, all heart and bravery. It’s a how-to on reinventing yourself, your community, and the culture. It’s thoughtful and inspiring, bold and unique — just exactly like Rachel herself.

Please listen in as Rachel guides us to ask ourselves the right questions, shows us how to transcend the fear that comes with change, how she created a matriarchal model of entrepreneurship that connects creativity and business, how she maintains her optimism and energy. I truly believe that Rachel is the voice of a generation, and I am always grateful for the chance to learn from her.

Rachel is also the founder of the Onward Book Club’s partner bookstore, Elizabeth’s Books and Writing Centre. As always, we encourage you to browse and purchase your books — especially this one! — from Elizabeth’s.
