About The Episode
In this episode, Whitney Kimball Coe shares her inspiring journey of embracing her rural identity and living out the life lessons modeled by her grandmother: hope, joy, and gratitude. From growing up in Tennessee to her work with the Center for Rural Strategies and leading the Rural Assembly, and now on the path to becoming an ordained Episcopal priest, Whitney’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of community and caring for the people around us.
Whitney reflects on the role of humor, gratitude, family, and faith as she navigates an unexpected and sometimes nonlinear journey—while finding ways to stay hopeful, serve her community, and make space for women to lead.
