In this episode of Beyond the Blog: The New Civic Path series, we sit down with Tiffaney Schippert Conner, a former librarian, published writer, and owner of Sobriety Beach, to hear her inspiring reflections on participating in A New Civic Path book circle.
Tiffaney shares how these circles create safe spaces for connection and trust, where vulnerability turns into strength and small actions ripple into meaningful community change. From building friendships across differences to witnessing generosity in action, her story reminds us that every voice matters and one person can make a difference.
Discover why Tiffaney believes these circles are more than discussions—they are practices of belonging, listening, and courage that strengthen civic life.
