The Moment is Now with Kristy from buildtomorrow.chi

In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa talk with Kristy about what it looks like to take a leap in midlife and step into a version of yourself you didn't see coming. Kristy shares how she went from growing up in a very nonpolitical household to becoming an activist and community organizer, working alongside a committed network of women through Build Tomorrow Chicago and Indivisible Edgewater. Together, they explore how concern turns into action, how community creates purpose during times of upheaval, and why getting involved doesn't require a certain personality or background. This conversation is for anyone navigating big, unexpected life changes and wondering how to channel their energy into something meaningful and alive.
