A HerStance Special -- Conversations with a Catalyst: Dotty Delafield

Welcome to Conversations with a Catalyst, a new series on the show! In these special episodes, we'll shift the format a bit to highlight incredible contemporary women who are not only reflecting on the legacies of our foremothers but also building a more equitable future for the generations to come.

For our very first Conversations with a Catalyst episode, we're joined by Dotty Delafield, a retired librarian and fierce community activist. Carrying on the work of the strong women who came before her, Dotty has long been a role model for young people, showing them how to find their voice, walk a life of faith, and stand up for the greater good.

Inspired by her parents and even her own daughter, Dotty rebooted her career after reading the book I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was. Now, she is a daily activist in Central Pennsylvania, sharing resources with subscribers on her website and through her email newsletter, "What We Can Do Now for Central Pennsylvania."

Join us as we dive into Dotty's incredible story and hear her insights on activism, legacy, and creating a better world.

Check out Dotty's website and newsletter—links are in the show notes.
