In this episode of Mind Your Nest, Jennifer Rosen sits down with Josie Machovec, a community advocate and campaign manager whose journey from frustrated parent to political powerhouse is nothing short of inspiring. When COVID-19 restrictions disrupted her family’s life, Josie took action, igniting a grassroots movement to reopen parks and hold local officials accountable. Her experience opened the door to deeper involvement in local politics, including running for office and co-founding the podcast We The Locals, which empowers residents to engage with their communities.
With humor and heartfelt stories, Josie shares her insights on why local government matters, how to stay optimistic amidst challenges, and the importance of building bridges with people who think differently. Whether you’re looking to make a difference or just love a good story, this episode is full of inspiration, laughs, and actionable advice.
