Women Walking Episode 10: Walking through the Messy Middle

Send us a text

This week on Women Walking, we talk with Lenoure Mullaney, a longtime global development professional whose career began in the Peace Corps and spanned more than twenty years across Africa, the Middle East, and beyond. Like so many in our community, Lenoure faced the upheaval of USAID cuts in early 2025—an abrupt loss that felt like losing more than just a job.

In this conversation, Lenoure shares what transition really looks like: the grief of letting go, the humor of dog‑walking adventures, and the courage of starting fresh with horses, Airbnb hosting, and new ways of building community. Her story reminds us that even when systems collapse, we can keep walking—awkward steps, quiet decisions, and all.

Here are some ways to connect with Lenoure and learn more about her Equine and Retreat Center in Lovettsville, VA.
