In this inspiring replay episode, I revisit one of the most impactful conversations I've had on the show — a deep dive into the giving-circle movement with '100 Women Who Care.' I personally joined my own local Utah Valley chapter after recording this episode over two years ago, and I've been attending quarterly meetings ever since. Today, I wanted to bring back this episode to highlight why this powerful model of collective giving continues to grow — and why you might want to be part of it too.
Jessica Farnsworth, a longtime leader with the Utah Valley chapter, shares the origin story of '100 Women Who Care', how these giving circles work, and the incredible impact that happens when women combine their resources to lift local nonprofits. You'll hear how chapters across the country are changing lives through “Impact Awards,” learn what actually happens inside a one-hour meeting, and discover the inspiring personal stories behind the organizations they support.
And since this conversation was first recorded, the Utah Valley chapter has surpassed 100 members — growing their impact even more. Whether you’re local to Utah or living anywhere else in the U.S., there’s likely a chapter near you.
