52 Quotes and Inspiring Insights from Everyday Women

In celebration of one year of The Commons with Karla podcast, we compiled 52 inspiring insights - wise and wonderful words - from the women who joined me in conversation at the Commons. Thank you for being a part of our community. I hope that the stories of inspiration and our common human experience are encouraging to you. 

You too have a story to tell, whether publicly on the podcast or privately with your friends and family. It is my hope that each episode of the podcast, each word on the blog, and each connection challenge inspires you to tell your own story. Be encouraged by these 52 quotes. You can enjoy the stories behind your favorite quotes (link to the podcast on each quote)!
