About The Episode
In this episode, Teresa interviews Karen Tolkkinen, a columnist for the Star Tribune who covers greater Minnesota. Karen speaks about her journey as a rural journalist, her inspiring stories from across Minnesota, and her insights on community, change, and hope for the future.
“I’m pretty optimistic by nature, but I’m also a realist. And a lot of things that there’s a negative, you can find a positive.”
